Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp of salt. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim the bok choy then thinly slice widthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the peanuts.
When boiling, add the noodles to the water and cook until tender, 4 mins. Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop them sticking together.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan or wok on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and onion and stir-fry until softened, 5-6 mins. Add the bok choy and stir-fry until softened, another 2-3 mins. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.
Pour the Szechuan paste into the pan with the vegetables, then add the water and sugar (see ingredients for both amounts) and half the soy sauce. Simmer for 1 min, then add the noodles and mix together until well combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil in another large frying pan on medium-high heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.Pat the hake fillets dry and season with pepper. Lay them in the pan and fry for 2-3 mins, then carefully turn and fry for 2-3 mins on the other side. Add the remaining soy sauce to the pan and spoon it over the fish. Remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when it is opaque in the middle.
Reheat the stir-fry if necessary and add a splash of water if it's a bit dry. Taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it, then serve in bowls. Top with the fish and sprinkle over the peanuts. Enjoy!
