  This is awesome. Unbelievably quick, ridiculously easy. Only 1 sp on caster sugar needed. Can substitute chicken or beef for prawns.

  I don't like prawns but the broth was really well balanced and my husband and mum said the prawns were brill.

  This was so tasty! I had all of the ingredients left over again (minus the prawns) and so I made it again and again. Though once I added chicken which absorbed some of the flavour, best to stick with prawns.

  Have made this several times, it's great. I've added noodles and a mix of chicken and prawns. Last time I added a little chopped carrot and mushrooms. All worked well. A great receipe!

  Only gave this three stars as it was way too hot for our tastes, but our guests absolutely loved it. If I did it again I would only put in one chilli, but I don't think the chances of me making it again are high. Still it kept the 'chinesey' theme of the evening going well, we had the braised pork with plums for a main course. Yummy!
