Prawn Noodle Stir-Fry

This is our take on the Thai street food classic “drunken noodles”. Flavoursome and comforting in equal measure, it’s a great recipe to add to your mid-week repertoire.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

First, make the sauce by stirring together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, tamarind, fish sauce, half of the lime juice and the sugar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed; it should be a balance of sweet, salty, sharp and savoury. (Tip: it shouldn't be overly sweet, the sugar is there to balance the other flavours.)

Step 2

Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak until tender, then drain and toss with a little oil to stop them sticking together.

Step 3

Warm the vegetable oil in large frying pan set over a medium-high heat. Add the spring onions and broccoli and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and just tender. Add the sauce and heat it through before adding the prawns and cooking for 30 seconds. Then add the drained noodles.

Step 4

Toss together until the noodles are coated in a rich, glossy sauce. Divide the noodles between the bowls and scatter over the Thai basil leaves, peanuts and squeeze over the remaining lime juice
