Method- If you remember, defrost the prawns before hand, if not, take them from freezer now and run under cold water in a sieve for a couple of minutes- Heat oils in a wok, on high - Fry garlic and ginger in oil for a half a minute - Add chilli, prepared stir fry veg (and coriander if using), and stir fry for about 3 minutes - Meanwhile, put noodles on to cook (usually 5 minutes or so in just boiled water) - To the wok, add prawns, sherry/ wine, fish sauce, lemon/lime, sugar, soy sauce and heat for a minute or longer if using prawns that are not fully defrosted. Make sure the prawns are cooked through - Drain cooked noodles and add to stir fry, stir through and serve | |||||||||||||||||||||
