"I am addicted to this stir fry! Fresh and packed with umami flavours, every mouthful gets better. Feel free to use any noodle you like - a thick, flat rice noodle is also delicious, as is an egg noodle. The most important part of a stir-fry, or any quick recipe, is to have everything prepared and chopped, so once you start cooking, it all comes together seamlessly in a few minutes." – Tom Walton

"This dish is quick to put together, and you can adapt it with seasonal vegies. I love to dissolve a spoonful of harissa into the ladle of broth before pouring it over my plate." - Lucy Nunes

"Tamarind is a tropical fruit that, when turned into a puree, has a sour tangy flavour that is an incredible addition to a rich curry. Originally brought over by Indian labourers in the 18th century, the ingredient quickly spread into Cape Malay cuisine. Here, it’s the backing track to a rich tomato-based curry sauce in which the fish is poached. A final fluttering of coconut cream softens the intensity a bit and really balances out the flavours." – Warren Mendes.
