Ingredients
- 350g new potatoes

- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1tsp groundnut or other oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 4 spring onions

- For the dressing
- 1 Tbsp oil

Instructions
- Rub the dirt off the new potatoes, then cook them in lightly salted water until tender for about 10-15 mins.

- Shred the fish into chunks.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and put them in a mixing bowl. Scatter the chopped vegetables and herbs on top, then pour over most of the dressing. Combine carefully.
