  Delicious and easy. Check out the 25g saturated fat content per person though!

  Lovely taste but far too much liquid, prawns and noodles for 1 portion.

  823 kcalories, fat 44 g, saturated fat 25g.... these figures mean I won't be making this recipe. Sounds lovely but ridiculously high in fat.

  For those worried about fat content: Why not try using low fat coconut milk, and sweating off the onions, garlic, chilli in a microwave or a little water? With just a small amount of thought you can alter recipes to suit your own dietary requirements

  Really enjoyed this! Agree with a previous poster that 100g noodles is too much so reduced to 50g and threw in some mange tout to up the veggie content. Also added a teaspoon of fish sauce, and to reduce the fat content, used mostly stock and just a bit of creamed coconut.

  I added some broccoli and bean sprouts, and used more stock and cream coconut as suggested by KateA. It was a very tasty, warming and healthy meal. Will make again soon! (too much for 1 person though, and too little for 2!)

  Made this without noting the nutritional value, if I'd known that I wouldn't have made it so I was glad I didn't know at the time because the ignorance was bliss as this dish is deliecious!

  Jokattie - depends on your portion sizes! I doubled the quantities to make enough for two today...and we'll be having it again tomorrow as there was more than enough.

  Very simple and tasty. I added a red pepper and some babycorn but it would have been fine without it.

  I make and prefer this with low-fat coconut milk. This is my girlfriend's favourite meal I make :-) Delicious!
