    Yum! The sauce to this was absolutely delicious. I used red Thai curry paste and didn't add extra chillies because it was already pretty spicy. The flavours were great and went really well with the prawns. I did not like the egg noodles though - I found them really slimy and made the dish more like a soup than a curry. I have made this again though using rice instead and it is lovely - and so quick too! Also, there is a lot of sauce when you add the stock and the coconut milk so I left the stock out the 2nd time and left the sauce to simmer for a while for it to thicken.
