Method

Place the hake fillets in a bamboo steamer then position over the saucepan and steam until cooked through.
In a pan, gently fry the ginger, garlic and chilli, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the olive oil then flash-fry the pad-thai noodles with the soy sauce and rice vinegar.
