Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and ginger in a bowl; set aside. Cook the vermicelli as per the pack instructions, then drain, refresh and toss with most of the dressing.

  2. Step 2

    Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Stir-fry the mushrooms for 5 mins until golden. Add the edamame and pak choi; cook for 3 mins more.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, mix the flour, cashews and chilli flakes on a plate. Rub the mackerel with miso, then dip in the beaten egg and coat in the flour mixture. Fry in a separate pan, skin-side down, with the remaining ½ tbsp olive oil, for 2-3 mins on each side or until cooked.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the mackerel fillets and arrange on a plate with the noodles and veg. Drizzle over the remaining dressing; serve with kimchi and chilli mayo, if you like.
