Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the G vermicelli noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 3 minutes until tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. Using kitchen scissors, snip the softened noodles into shorter, manageable lengths. Return the noodles to the bowl.
  3. Add the thinly sliced carrots and cucumber to the bowl with the noodles. Toss gently to combine.
  4. In a small jug or bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, and thinly sliced fresh red chilli to create the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture. Add fresh coriander leaves and toss everything together until well coated. Set aside.
  6. Grill or pan-sear the fish skewers until cooked through and lightly charred.
  7. Serve the grilled fish skewers alongside the refreshing noodle salad. Garnish with extra lime halves for squeezing over the dish.

Note

Ensure fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 145ðF (63ðC).

For a vegan variation, omit the fish and serve the noodle salad on its own or with grilled tofu or tempeh skewers.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
