    Start by preparing the ingredients: boil water for the stock cubes, slice the red chilli and bok choy, slice the spring onion diagonally, julienne the red capsicum, and peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic.

    In a deep frying pan or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.

    Add the curry paste and stock to the pan, stirring until dissolved.

  • Step 4

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  • Step 5

    Add the red capsicum and fish to the pan, poaching until the fish is cooked through (approximately 5 minutes).

The fish is top quality, and matches well with the sauce. It would be better to add in the instruction to add the curry little by little since the taste can be overwhelming.
