Ingredients

Sauce

2 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 clove garlic, finely diced

2 teaspoon fish sauce

1/2 cup coconut milk

juice from 1 lemon

3 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 onion, finely chopped

1/2 red capsicum, diced

2.5 spring onions, sliced

2.5 cup thin egg noodles, cooked

13.5 raw frozen prawns, shelled and thawed

chopped peanuts

sliced chilli

coriander sprigs

2 lime or lemon wedges, to serve

Method

1.For the sauce, whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl or jug until combined.

2.Heat oil in a large pan or wok. Add onion and capsicum. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the spring onion. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables soften and colour.

3.Pour in the sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavours to develop and the sauce to thicken slightly.

4.Add the noodles and prawns, toss in the sauce and keep them moving in the pan until the noodles are heated through and the prawns are cooked. Splash in a little water as you go to “loosen” the sauce if it looks too dry.

5.Serve in bowls garnished with peanuts, chilli and coriander, and a wedge of lime or lemon.
