Method

  1. Put the fish cubes with the chilli, ginger and garlic in a large pan. Add the stock and bring gently to a simmer then add the juice of 1 lime. As soon as the fish turn opaque, stir in the coriander and season with fish sauce. Spoon over bowls of rice noodles and serve extra lime to squeeze over.

Making it healthier

Poaching fish for a curry works just as well as frying the pieces first, and ginger, chilli, garlic and lime add as much flavour as you'll ever need. Use fish sauce as a seasoning only to keep down your salt intake.

    I've just counted the calories for a portion of this dish (based on the recipe serving 4) using weightlossresources.co.uk and the total calories actually comes to 236, with the fat content being 0.9g. I'm not sure where BBC GF get their nutritional data from but I often find they are little bit out most of the time. Fab recipes though! :)

    So quick and easy, very tasty and filling, healthy too. It would be better with added veg perhaps!

    I added baby corn, sugar snap peas and spring onions to the recipe based on other people's suggestions. Although it's a nice and healthy meal, there's not a lot of flavour. I'd maybe try adding some more garlic as well as some other spices next time.

    Have had this a few times now. I agree with Babka it's light and subtle and different.

    Absolutely delicious. Have cooked this twice now, once using a mix of cod, smoked haddock and pink salmon chuncks and the second time with cod, prawns and chicken. also added a chopped up stem of lemongrass. Tastes so luxurious you would never guess it is low fat/calories. Hubby loves it as well :)

    I should add that I did use a lot more garlic, ginger and chilli than the recipe called for as we like our food with quite a bite. We served it with brown rice vermacelli.

    This just didn't seem to work for me. It was nearly a soup, nearly a curry but thin and flavourless despite good ingredients.
