MARINATION STATION
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a shallow dish, add ½ the coconut cream, a squeeze of Lemon juice and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Add the fish fingers, toss until coated and leave to marinate in the fridge.
BUBBLING NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the noodles with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
ROASTY TOASTY
Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast the cashews for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop.
COCONUT CRUST
Place the chopped coconut flakes in a shallow bowl. Remove the Fish fingers one at a time from the marinade, and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Coat in the coconut flakes and place on a greased baking tray. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and golden. Discard the remaining marinade.
TOSS TOGETHER
In a bowl, add the remaining coconut cream, the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, the soy sauce, ½ the sliced mint, the curry paste (to taste) and ½ tsp of a sweetener of choice. Whisk until fully combined. Add the cooked noodles, the Cucumber matchsticks, the sliced pickled peppers, ½ the spring onion strips, ½ the chopped cashews, and the edamame beans. Toss until fully combined.
PLATE IT UP!
Plate up the Thai noodle salad and top with the crunchy coconut Fish fingers. Garnish with the remaining spring onion strips, the sliced mint, the remaining cashews and side with a Lemon wedge. Well done, Chef!
