Chili Fish with Oriental Noodles

Attempted after having Chili Sea Bass with Oriental Rice Noodles for a dinner out in Scotland. Only I couldn't find Sea Bass or Rice Noodles at our store so instead I used Salmon Filets and Fine Egg Noodles. This recipe is a little more involved but it was realllllly good.

For 2 hungry people
Fish of your choice (2 filets)
Red Chillies (quantity dependent on how hot you want it. I used four)
Fresh Ginger root (brown root looking thing I found near all the other herbs)
Spring Onions (same as green onions...I cut up 3)
Light Soy sauce (use as much as you like)
Honey
Rice Vinegar
Oyster Sauce
Rice noodles or fine egg noodles
Curry Powder (I don't think this impacted the taste all that much so leave it out if you don't like curry)

Slice up and deseed the red chillies, chop up the green onions, peel the ginger (I used a carrot peeler). Start the water boiling for the noodles. Put fish in a frying pan with some butter, some of the red chillies, green onions, and ginger (cooks for about 10mins on low to med heat). While the fish is cooking put noodles in boiling water until done. Prepare the sauce in a container by pouring the Soy Sauce (1 cup or so), spoonful of honey, 2 TBSp of rice vinegar and the remainder of green onions, red chillies and ginger...stir it up (doesn't require any heating or anything). Strain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Then in a wok (or I just used another frying pan) heat 2 TBsp of the oyster sauce and dump the noodles in. Fry the noodles. I had some extra onions and chillies in which I threw in as well and this is where you would add in the curry powder (1 tsp..or to taste). The final product will be a side of noodles with the fish - pour the sauce over everything. Yum :)
