Instructions

1
Boil the noodles a minute shy of the packet time, drain, and toss with a splash of the Neutral Oil so they don't clump.
2
Heat the rest of the Neutral Oil in a wok until it shimmers, then flash the garlic for a few seconds.
3
Add the catfish and cook until just done, then splash in the fish sauce.
4
Slide the noodles in and toss vigorously for 60 seconds so every strand picks up the sauce.
5
Finish off the heat with spring onions and thai basil.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the white pepper in the oil before adding anything wet.
