Cooking Method For Prawn Curry Stir Fry
First pre-cook the noodles in boiling water and set aside in a warm place.
You can use a food processor or hand blender to make the spice paste for the curry. Start by blitzing together the garlic, onion, red chilli, ginger and half the fresh coriander. Add in a drop of oil or soy sauce if needed.
Heat the sesame oil in the wok. Fry the shallots or onion, peppers, pak choy and mushrooms over a high heat. Now add the spice paste and fry for a few minutes. Follow with the coconut cream, the fish sauce and soy sauce and stir.
Turn down the heat, add in the prawns and cook for a few minutes till the prawns are cooked through – you can see that they change colour to pink orange when done. You can substitute any type of prawns (fresh, large, small, shell on shell off etc.) just tweak the cooking time accordingly.
Stir through the noodles and the pak choy tops. Serve garnished with the rest of the fresh chopped coriander and a wedge of lime.
