  1. OODLES OF NOODLES

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

  2. IT’S SOY SWEET

    In a small bowl, combine the soy vinegar, 15ml of water, and 5ml of sweetener. Set aside.

  3. GOLDEN NUGS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. THE SECRET INGREDIENT

    Place the chopped peanuts, ½ the NOMU rub, ½ the chopped coriander, and the chopped chilli (to taste) in a small, heat-proof bowl. Return the pan to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of oil. Heat until hot, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the hot oil over the peanut mix. Let it sizzle! Set aside.

  5. PERFECT HAKE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the hake skin-side down until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the remaining NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and cover.

  6. TOSS IT TOGETHER

    Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, add the charred corn, the carrot ribbons, the cooked noodles, the remaining coriander, and the loosened soy vinegar. Simmer until coated in the sauce, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season.

  7. DELISH!
