  1. 1

    Boil the noodles a minute shy of the packet time, drain, and toss with a splash of the Coconut Oil so they don't clump.

  2. 2

    Heat the rest of the Coconut Oil in a wok until it shimmers, then flash the garlic for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the squid and cook until just done, then splash in the fish sauce.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
