Ingredients

2 large cleaned squid hoods

12 large uncooked prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact

2 clove garlic, crushed

2 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil

250 gram packet noodles

1 medium red onion, halved, cut into thin wedges

1 medium red capsicum, sliced

100 gram green beans, topped, cut in half diagonally

2 tablespoon soy sauce

100 gram baby spinach leaves

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Method

1.Slit one side of each squid hood lengthways; open out flat with inside facing up. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, score surface, not quite through, in a small diamond pattern. Cut hoods into 2cm slices; blot dry with paper towels. Place squid and prawns in a large bowl; add garlic and half the oil. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 10 minutes to marinate.

2.Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Stand for 3 minutes or until soft. Drain; rinse under cold water.

3.Heat a wok or large frying pan over moderately high heat. Add remaining oil, then stir-fry seafood, in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until curled and changed in colour. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.

4.Stir-fry onion, capsicum and beans for 2-3 minutes. Add seafood, noodles, soy sauce and spinach. Toss until spinach wilts. Spoon into bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds; serve at once.

Buy seafood on day of cooking; remove from packaging and place on a plate. Cover with plastic food wrap; store in coldest part of fridge.
