Panfried Talapia Fillet with red pepper, chilli and Noodles.

For two people you will need:

Two Tilapia fillets

A small sweet red pepper

Hot pepper, one small scotch bonnet or birds eye chilli

Fresh coriander

Noodles

Nam Pla Fish Sauce or Soy/Tamari Sauce

Fresh lime or lemon

Watercress 

Method:

• Chop the sweet pepper into small dice and soften in a little oil in a frying pan or wok.
• Add the chopped hot chilli and a handful of coriander, also chopped. Remember that the stalks are full of flavour and can be used too if chopped finely.
• Meanwhile cook the noodles.
• Add the Tilapia fillets to the pan and cook for a couple of minute on each side.
• Add a few splashes of Fish Sauce
• Drain the noodles and mix into the wok allowing the fish to break up into large chunks
• Add a big squeeze of lime juice
• Serve with a fresh peppery watercress salad

A lovely spicy supper.  Tilapia is a delicious fish to use in this way it has a mild almost creamy texture and taste and I think is really underrated.
