GLASSY NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir, cover with a plate, and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked and glassy. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
MARINATION
In a large bowl, combine the Thai dressing, the grated garlic and the chopped chilli (to taste). Add the papaya pieces, the cabbage, the carrot, the sliced spring onion, ½ the chopped mint and ½ the chopped coriander. Toss until fully combined. Set aside to marinate.
TOAST
Place the peanuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.
FRYING TIME
Pat the hake dry with some paper towel. Coat in the rub and some seasoning. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the hake skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and fry the other side for a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion. Toss the cooked noodles through the papaya salad.
PLATE IT FANCY
Dish up the Thai marinated salad and top with the golden hake. Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts and garnish with any remaining chilli, coriander and mint. Well done, Chef!
