Pad Thai

Perhaps the most recognisable Thai street food, these stir-fried rice noodles can be rustled up in minutes

Preparation:

  1. Cook/ soak the noodles following the pack instructions until al dente (with a slight crunch), drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and stir fry the prawns for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Reheat the wok, add the garlic, chilli and spring onions and stir fry for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the noodles, lime juice, sweet chilli sauce and sugar.
  5. Push the vegetables and noodles to the sides of the wok, then crack the egg into the centre. Keep stirring the egg for 30 secs until it begins to set and resembles a broken-up omelette.
  6. Return the prawns to the wok, give a last stir and serve on warm plates garnished with the coriander and the roasted peanuts.

Useful tip:

Always soak your rice noodles before stir-frying or adding to a salad... more
