Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

TIP

If you've got leftover roast chicken, shred it and use it instead of the prawns.

    Really delicious. I had some homemade chicken stock which I think made the flavour better. Very quick and very easy.

    Clever daughter made this substituting savoy cabbage for bok choi and soy sauce instead of hoisin. Didn't have noodles either because we spent all afternoon eating cupcakes!

    I used curly cale instead of Bok choi because I couldn't find it in the supermarket. It was fantastic.

    Very tasty and very quick. I added sugar snap peas and sliced chestnut mushrooms. halved it for 2, but still had 2 packs of noodles to suit the greedy BF :0) Would add the raw prawns right at the end as they were a little tough.

    This is a great recipe... So easy, so balanced, so great. One that has made my list of favorites, and that's a hard list to get into ;) f you don't have Hoi Sin sauce, make your own by combining 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons kecap manis, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, 1 clove finely chopped garlic, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1/2 birdseye chili, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
