Optional extras

  • Mint Leaveshandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Heat the rest of the Neutral 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.

  4. 4

    Slide the noodles in and toss vigorously for 60 seconds so every strand picks up the sauce.

  5. 5

    Finish off the heat with spring onions and thai basil.

Chef's tip

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