Thai Fish, Coconut and Noodle Soup

A delicious Thai Noodle Soup that’s quick and easy enough to make on a weeknight. We used Sealord Hoki fillets, now certified by The Marine Stewardship Council – and matched it with Villa Maria’s Private Bin Arneis, East Coast 2013.

Villa Maria Arneis East Coast 2013 

1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp Thai green or red curry paste
1 x 400g tin coconut cream
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 long red chilli, seeded and thinly sliced
4 kaffir fresh lime leaves, (or 2 tsp bottled leaves)
5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
400g (or 3½ cups) pumpkin, peeled and cubed
400g firm white fish fillets, sliced 2 cm pieces, we used Sealord Hoki fillets
350g udon noodles, precooked
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
small handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the curry paste for 1 minute. Add the coconut cream, ginger, garlic, chili, kaffir lime leaves and stock and bring to the boil.

Simmer for 5 minutes then add the cubed pumpkin and cook till soft.

Add the fish and noodles and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the fish is just cooked. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice.

Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with spring onions and the coriander. Serves 4   

Wine match 

Arneis means ‘little rascal’ because this white Italian wine grape variety is considered quite difficult to grow. This wine is not at all difficult to drink though – with its delicate and dry style and hints of melon, almond and honeysuckle. A great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc to serve with chicken and fish.
