Ingredients
2 cups vegetable oil
1 x 200 g (7 oz) piece bar cod or whitefleshed fish, cut into bite-sized pieces
100 ml (31⁄2 fl oz) fish sauce
100 g (31⁄2 oz) tapioca flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons julienned ginger
8 snowpeas (mange-tout)
1 red chilli, seeded and roughly chopped
2 spring (green) onions (scallions), cut into
2.5 cm (1 in) lengths
5 garlic chive flowers
2 stalks Asian celery, cut into
2.5 cm (1 in) lengths
50 ml (13⁄4 fl oz) Chinese cooking wine
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
50 ml (13⁄4 fl oz) fish sauce
2 tablespoons castor (superfine) sugar
100 ml (31⁄2 fl oz) chicken stock
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
1 teaspoon salt & pepper mix
1⁄2 cup coriander leaves
Preparation
Heat the oil in a wok until just smoking.
Toss the fish in the fish sauce, then roll in the flour.
Fry the fish until golden brown, then remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper. Set aside.
Drain off the excess oil, leaving 50 ml (13⁄4 fl oz) in the wok. Add the garlic and ginger and fry until fragrant. Add the snowpeas, chilli, spring onions, garlic chives and celery, and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the fish.
Deglaze the wok with Chinese cooking wine and add oyster and fish sauces, sugar and stock. Toss through and taste for seasoning – it should be salty and sweet. Add the lemon juice and Salt & Pepper Mix.
Toss through half the coriander leaves and spoon onto a serving plate. Garnish with the rest of the coriander and some extra lemon wedges.

Hot Tips
Pasta shapes
Thin, delicate pasta shapes are lovely combined with thinner, delicate sauces. Tubular or irregular shaped pastas are best with chunky sauces (so the sauce can get caught inside the shapes). Small pasta shapes, such as risoni, are great in soups.
Glossary
Hummus
A puree or dip of crushed cooked chickpeas flavoured with Tahini (pounded sesame seeds), oil, garlic and lemon juice.
