Cha Ca La Vong
  1. Soak the vermicelli noodles in just boiled water for 2 minutes or until tender. Drain and divide among serving bowls.

  2. For the marinade, use a mortar and pestle to pound the spring onion and garlic to a rough paste. Stir through the remaining ingredients. Pour the marinade into a large bowl. Add the fish and toss to coat.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high het. Add the fish, spreading the pieces out in the pan. Allow to cook on the first side until golden (about 2-3 minutes). Then gently turn the fish over, sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fish is just cooked. Scatter over most of the spring onion and dill (leave some for serving). Pour over lime juice and remove from heat.

  4. Top noodles with fish and the pan juices. Drizzle with nuoc cham and add more dill or spring onion as needed.
