Method

  1. Dry-fry the prawns and coriander stalks in a non-stick frying pan for 1-2 mins until the prawns are just pink. Add the noodles, beansprouts, egg, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Quickly toss together for 1 min more until the egg is just cooked and everything is well mixed - you might want to use a pair of tongs to make this easier.
  2. Remove from the heat, mix in most of the coriander leaves, then divide between 2 bowls. Scatter with the remaining coriander and the peanuts, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Noodles

If you're using dried noodles, cook them according to pack instructions, then drain well on a little kitchen paper before adding to the pan.

    not the pad thai i was hoping for. 10 minutes is fast, but i rather spend half an hour and get some more taste in my supper.

    This was a really tasty midweek treat - healthy and easy. What more could you want from a recipe! I added spring onions and used egg noodles but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Yummy!

    Very quick meal only 10 mins to prepare and cook - is a little dry so a splash of sweet chilli and/or soy sauce is worthwhile - but a great little recipe for a quick and tasty dinner.
