For the fish

Place the chopped fish into a plastic bag and add the flour along with a good pinch of sea salt. Tie up the bag and shake until the fish is well coated with the flour. If the flour looks a bit gluggy then simply add a little more. In a wok or a small deep pan heat the vegetable oil over high heat. We want to shallow fry the fish so add as much oil as you feel comfortable with. Once the oil is nice and hot, carefully add the fish one by one – be careful not to splash the oil. Cook the fish for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the fish from the wok and transfer to a shallow bowl.

For the rice

Start the rice when you start the pickle as both will take a similar amount of time. For the rice, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the rice and cook it for 8-10 minutes until soft. Drain.

For the pickle

Return the pan and a little oil to a medium heat. Add the red onions for 2 minutes. Now add in the garlic, ginger, HF Pondicherry mix, and cook for a further minute. Add the sugar and the white vinegar and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

To serve

Top the fish with the hot pickling liquid. Serve with rice. Enjoy!

Hellofresh recipe

For the dipping sauce

Stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, and the chilli in a small dipping bowl.

For the rolls

Cut the tofu into long thin strips (about the length of the rice paper rolls).
In a kettle boil some water and add to a wide shallow bowl that will fit the rice paper sheets, let it cool a bit so you don’t burn your fingers! Place one piece of rice paper into the warm water and soak until it becomes soft (this will take just seconds). Place on a plate, add some carrot, tofu, beansprouts, cucumber, coriander and mint into the left of the rice paper, like the illustration below. Fold one side over, followed by the opposite, and then wrap the roll up as tightly as possible, be careful they rip easily! As long as the paper still has enough moisture it will stick, so try to work quickly!
