Smoked Mackerel Noodles In Minutes

Replace fast food with good food fast.

How long does it take to cook a ready meal, 10 minutes perhaps, a little more with standing time?

And what about the time wasted trying to remove the film lid, tearing a thin edge from around the perimeter without actually gaining access to the main tray at all. Then cutting out the middle of the film and picking at the bits that are glued down to try and make sure you don't end up eating plastic with your meal...

I urge you to try this instead, you can have it dished up in 10 minutes and is our favourite super fast mid week meal and unlike the microwavable cr*p it tastes amazing and is really healthy! I'd even take this over most of the Asian takeaways i've had.


Ingredients, approx 3 servings - 

250g Rice Noodles

3 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce

2 cloves of minced Garlic and 2cm piece of Ginger grated (you can use garlic puree from a tube and ginger paste from a pot to speed things up)

Chopped birdseye chillis, to taste

Half a large cucumber, halved lengthways and then sliced

Bunch of Spring Onions, sliced

Handful of Coriander Leaves

4 Smoked Mackerel fillets, peppered ones work well, torn into small pieces 

• Boil the noodles until cooked and then rinse in cold water
• Meanwhile mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chillis with 3 tbsp of water, this is the dressing
• Throw the noodles into a large bowl with the spring onions, cucumber and some fresh coriander. Pour over half the dressing and stir.
• Serve in bowls with a good drizzle of the remaining dressing and topped with the mackerel and the rest of the coriander.
