Laksa King Prawn Noodles
There's something about cooking fish that still feels like a small achievement to me. This one is low-drama and reliable.
Method
- 1.Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the chilli. Cook for 1 min, then add the curry paste, stir and cook for 1 min more. Dissolve the stock cube in a large jug in 700ml boiling water, then pour into the pan and stir to combine. Tip in the coconut milk and bring to the boil.
- 2.Add the fish sauce and a little seasoning. Toss in the noodles and cook for a further 3-4 mins until softening. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the prawns and cook through until warm, about 2-3 mins. Scatter over some of the coriander.
- 3.Serve in bowls with the remaining coriander and lime wedges on top for squeezing over.
Notes
Read through the method once before you start. I know that sounds obvious, but I always skip it and always regret it.
The first time I made this I followed the steps word for word. Now I take my liberties. You will too, and that's the point.
