Panfried Prawns With Rice Noodles


I love shellfish!! Especially prawns and crab!! It has been a long time since I had prawns, one of the things from Malaysia that I miss, is the abundant array of shell fish!!.  Anyway saw this huge packet of jumbo prawns being sold in the supermarket and bought them  'cos I couldn’t resist them. 
The boys don’t like them or so they say, so I made this delicious noodle dish just for me and hubby.
This recipe is inspired by Jamie Oliver’s panfried prawns but I gave it a bit of a Thai twist by adding Thai flavourings and added rice noodles.

Recipe : Panfried Prawns with Rice Noodles

12 jumbo prawns ( cleaned if using fresh ones)
1 heaped tsp of minced chilli  ( Thai choice), available in Agora
1 tsp fresh ginger chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
2 kaffir lime leaves torn roughly
Handful of snow peas, stringed and cut in half. ( or use frozen green peas if unavailable)
10 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup water
4-5 spring onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
About 100g of flat rice noodles
A few drops of fish sauce,
½ tbsp light soy sauce
a little sugar
Oil

Note : Please don't add salt while cooking this recipe as both soy sauce and fish sauce are very salty so add salt at the end after tasting it!

Boil some water and soak the noodles in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, remove and rinse in cold water, and set aside.

Heat a wok or deep frying pan, add 2-3 tbsp oil. Then add the prawns and cook till one side is coloured, then toss in the ginger and garlic. 

Stir fry so you get the aroma of the ginger and garlic. Then stir in lime leaf, tomatoes, chilli puree and water. Bring to a boil and then simmer covered for about 2 -3 minutes.

Remove the lid, add the peas spring onions, noodles, fish sauce(it is very salty so just a few drops is enough ), soy sauce and just a pinch of sugar.

Toss well so everything gets mixed, add a little water if it looks too dry, it has to have a little sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Taste, and make sure everything is balanced, you might not even need to add salt as both fish sauce and soy are quite salty.

Serve while its still hot!
