Spicy Mackerel Noodles

Method

• Toast the peppercorns in a dry pan for 2 mins, then crush with a pestle and mortar. Mix with the sesame oil, five-spice, tahini, garlic, soy, sugar, vinegar and chilli flakes to make a paste.
• Add the noodles to a saucepan and cover with boiling water, then cook according to the packet instructions. Add the broccoli and pak choi and cook for 2 mins, then drain and reserve a cup of the cooking water. Stir in the peppercorn paste and a splash of the cooking water, mixing well to coat. Finally, flake in the smoked mackerel meat and fold through, before seasoning to taste and serving immediately.
