Prawn Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 5 mins until softened but still al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy, oyster sauce and curry powder.
• In a large wok, add half the oil and fry the garlic, chilli and ginger until golden, about 2 mins. Add the remaining oil, onion, pepper, spring onions, prawns and noodles and stir-fry for a few mins. Push everything to one side, add the egg and scramble. Add the soy sauce mixture, toss again for a few more mins, then remove from the heat. Sprinkle over the coriander leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Put the noodles in a bowl, pour over enough boiling water to cover, set aside to soak for 5 mins, then drain.
• Meanwhile, pour 450ml water into a wok or wide pan and add the garlic, ginger, coriander stalks, chilli, tamari, spring onions and sugar snaps. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 mins, then add the noodles and beansprouts to heat through.
• Stir in the prawns, lime zest and juice, coriander leaves and the mint, if using. Return to the boil until steaming hot and serve in deep bowls, drizzled with a dash of sesame oil, if you like.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following pack instructions, drain, run under cold water and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large pan. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli, and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the peas and prawns, and cook for 3 mins until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Pour in the eggs, stirring all the time to scrape the cooked egg from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the noodles and cook until hot. Stir through the soy, lime juice and spring onions, sprinkle with coriander and serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then rinse with cold water and drain. Toss with 1 tsp of the sesame oil.
• Heat 2 tsp of the groundnut oil in a non-stick wok. Stir-fry most of the spring onions and all the beansprouts for a couple of mins until tender. Add the noodles and warm through. Stir through the remaining sesame oil and tip out of the wok onto a serving dish.
• Carefully wipe out the wok and add the remaining groundnut oil. Toss in the garlic and chilli, and cook for 10 secs. Pop in the prawns and stir-fry for a couple of mins until they have just turned pink. Stir in the sugar and soy, then bubble until the sugar has melted and prawns are cooked through. Spoon on top of the noodles and sprinkle with the remaining spring onions. Add an extra drizzle of sesame oil, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan. Toss in the onion, squeeze in the coriander purée and sprinkle over the crushed chillies to taste (go easy at this stage). Stir fry for 5 minutes until the onion is softened but not browned.
• Pour in the tomatoes and 11⁄2 canfuls of hot water, add the tomato purée and sprinkle over the bouillon powder. Season well. Bring to a bubble, stirring, then lower the heat a little and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes until slightly reduced but still sloppy. While the sauce is simmering, break the noodles into a bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover. Stir and set aside.
• When the sauce is ready, drain the noodles and tip them into the sauce with the frozen prawns. Stir well and heat through for 2 minutes only - just to defrost and heat the prawns. Taste for seasoning and add more chilli flakes and a little sugar if you like. Serve in bowls with spoons and pass round chunky hot bread for scooping up the last of the sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following the pack instructions, drain and set aside for later. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and pour in the beaten egg. Swirl around the pan to make a thin omelette, cook for 1-2 mins, then flip over and cook the other side for 1 min. Tip out and slice into thin strips.
• Add the chilli and ginger to the pan, fry for 1-2 mins then tip in the noodles, prawns and egg. Splash in the soy sauce and stir-fry for 1 min more. Throw in the chopped herbs and pour over the lime juice and zest, then sprinkle over the chopped peanuts and serve.

Steps:

• In a wok or large saucepan, bring the stock to the boil. Stir the sauces into the stock, then add the ginger. Simmer for a moment, then add the prawns: if raw, simmer for 2 mins until they turn pink; if cooked, add together with the bok choi, then cook for 2 mins more until just wilted.
• Slip all the noodles into the broth, then gently stir to loosen them. Bring the liquid back to a simmer, then cook for 2 mins more to warm them through. Scatter with spring onions and serve straight from the wok, using tongs for the noodles and a ladle for the broth.
