Where's Jonny? Care to dine with me? You would think that 11 years of daily food tasting for a living might put me off?......au contraire! Chomp away with me across 6 continents. Seduced like a bloodhound to the scent of good food, I anticipate the misty waft of steaming broths, the satisfying crunch of mudbugs and the vibrant aroma of freshly pulverised lemongrass. Buon appetito

Amaze/frustrate your backpacker bretheren with my simple trout recipe.

The rainbow trout I used were smoked but you could easily use poached trout or even salmon.

Serves 1 hungry backpacker.

Ingredients

Portion of egg noodles - boiled for 2 minutes

1 trout (or salmon) fillet - remove skin and flake the fish with fingers to remove any bones.

splash of soy sauce

splash of oil - any will do but sesame is the best

3-4 spring onions -chopped into circles.  (make sure you chop all the green flag you waster)

squeeze of lemon juice

few pickled slices of cucumber, chopped into strips (buy a jar and eat the rest with cheese)

Method

Toss everything together lightly and serve while the noodles are still hot.  Top with wild rocket if you really want to P**S off other hostel guests.
