• Boil the kettle.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
• Cook egg noodles (see ingredients) over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Drain, rinse and set aside.

• Meanwhile, drain and roughly chop pineapple slices. Zest lime to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons. Finely chop fresh chilli (if using) and coriander (see ingredients). Thinly slice spring onion (see ingredients).
• In a medium bowl, combine coriander, chilli, fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the sugar, hot water (see ingredients) and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Stir until well combined, then set aside.

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook pineapple until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, place bao buns on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel.
• Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 1 minute.

• Remove John Dory fillets from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• When oil is hot, cook fish in batches until just cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side.
TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white.
TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed so the fish doesn’t stick to the pan.

• In a large heatproof bowl, combine peanut butter and the boiling water (see ingredients), stirring until smooth.
• SPICY! Use less sriracha if you’re sensitive to heat! Add sriracha, the soy sauce, sesame oil, a pinch of brown sugar, a good squeeze of lime juice
and the cooked noodles.
• Stir to combine, then sprinkle over spring onion.

• To the bowl with nam chim, add charred pineapple and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Gently halve the bao buns, then fill with garlic aioli, John Dory and nam chim-pineapple salsa.
• Serve with sriracha-peanut noodles and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
