Method

  1. Cook the noodles following the pack instructions, drain and set aside for later. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and pour in the beaten egg. Swirl around the pan to make a thin omelette, cook for 1-2 mins, then flip over and cook the other side for 1 min. Tip out and slice into thin strips.
  2. Add the chilli and ginger to the pan, fry for 1-2 mins then tip in the noodles, prawns and egg. Splash in the soy sauce and stir-fry for 1 min more. Throw in the chopped herbs and pour over the lime juice and zest, then sprinkle over the chopped peanuts and serve.

Why choose Atlantic prawns?

Atlantic prawns are not as big as farmed varieties, but they have a good flavour. Harvested from the North Atlantic, these prawns are quick to grow and breed. They are trawled in very fine nets and many of the boats fishing for them have grids on their nets that prevent other fish being caught at the same time.

    This was one of the best things I've ever tasted!!! So simple and fresh and takes minutes. I added about 3 cloves of chopped garlic at the same time as the chilli and ginger and was quite free with the soy sauce, too. The second time I made it, I added some raw beansprouts just before the noodles which gave it a bit of crunch. I also sauteed a sliced chicken breast and served that on a bed of the noodle mix, taking out the prawns for my son who doesn't like them. Really tasty, quick, healthy, delicious mid-week supper!

    Being a fan of phad thai, I really enjoyed this dish as it had similar textures and flavours. It was a bit dry which is my only reason for giving it a 4 rather than a 5, but a few drops of sweet chilli sauce sorted that out and worked well with the flavours. A definite addition to my mid-week meals folder.
