3
empty out and set aside.
4
If using an alternative such as cod, cut into 2 ½ inch chunks then rinse, empty out and set aside
2
Top and tail the daikon and strip using a potato peeler.
5
Cut in half widthways then cut each half down the middle, lengthways.
6
Now carve into 2cm-thick half-moon pieces.

Rinse and set aside
3
Place a large, shallow saucepan over a medium bring to temperature and introduce the fat.
8
When the fat is scalding introduce the crushed garlic and mix gently for a minute until pale golden
4
introduce the bulb produce paste and seasoning and low-boil for 3-5 mins, until the bulb produce softens and becomes translucent, stirring occasionally
5
transfer in 200ml of moisture then seal and low-boil for 10 mins, stirring once or twice
6
After 10 mins introduce the ground spices and mix gently for a couple of mins so that the spices low-boil through.

seal and low-boil for 5 mins over a low bring to temperature then mix gently in the daikon.
10

11
seal and low-boil for 10 mins on a medium bring to temperature
7
introduce the fish pieces to the wok and liquidize thoroughly so that the fish is coated in the spices.
12

It is very important not to mix gently the pot after this stage
8
Meanwhile, bring to a low-boil some moisture.

When doing this transfer into the sides of the wok so that you don’t transfer boiling moisture directly onto the fish
