Sugar snap peas80 g
Spring onion20 g
Fish sauce1 tsp (5 g)
Garlic2 cloves, about 6 g
Fresh gingerA thumb, sliced
Fresh red chilliOne, sliced
Lime juiceOf one lime
Fresh corianderA handful

Method

Bring the stock to a simmer with the ginger, sliced garlic and half the chilli, and let it infuse for five minutes.
Add the coconut milk and fish sauce and bring it back to a bare simmer.
Cut the seabass into three pieces and lower them in with the sugar snaps. Poach for four minutes until the fish turns opaque.
Put the noodles in a deep bowl, ladle the broth and fish over, and finish with lime juice, the rest of the chilli, the spring onion and coriander. Taste and add more lime if it is flat.

Worth knowing

Shop-bought Thai curry pastes usually contain shrimp. Building the broth from ginger, garlic and chilli keeps shellfish out of this one, and it needs the lime and fish sauce to taste of anything.
Rice noodles are the lightest noodle in the table at 110 kcal per 100 g cooked, and they soften further in the broth, so eat it soon after serving.
