Method:

1. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl, cover with hot water and leave to soak for about 20 minutes. Drain.

2. In the meantime, trim and wash the spring onions and cut lengthwise into strips of about the same width as the noodles.

3. Wash and dry the red mullet. Make two or three incisions on each side of the fish. Lightly sprinkle the inside with salt.

4. Peel the garlic and ginger, chop very finely and press into the incisions and stomach cavity of the fish.

5. Heat the wok, then pour in the oil and heat over a moderate flame. Add the spring onions and stir-fry for about a minute. Then add the drained noodles and stir-fry briefly. Pour in the stock and season with the soy sauce and sambal trassie. Place the fish side by side on top, cover with the lid and steam for about 5 minutes.

6. Lift out the fish, mix the noodle-onion mixture thoroughly and season to taste. Spread it out on a serving plate and lay the fish on top. Chop the coriander leaves and sprinkle over fish.

7. Serve with soy sauce or another highly seasoned sauce.
