NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season and set aside to rehydrate, 6-8 minutes. Drain, reserve the water, and rinse in cold water.
HAKE
Place a pan over 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. Remove from the pan and season.
VEG & SPICE
Roughly slice the pak choi stems and cut the leaves in half lengthwise. Return the pan to medium heat with all the pan juices. Fry the Garlic, the spring onion, and the pak choi stems until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the noodles, ½ the chilli seed mix, the sesame soy, the pak choi leaves, and a splash of the noodle water. Simmer until the pak choi is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
