Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sunflower or vegetable oil
  • 1 shallot, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • 4 makrut lime leaves, scrunched
  • ½ x 20g pack Thai basil
  • 1 unwaxed lime, pared zest and juice
  • 2 tbsp nam pla fish sauce
  • 2 tsp maple syrup (or caster sugar)
  • 200g green pak choi or tatsoi (available in selected stores), cut into 3-4cm lengths
  • 165g Waitrose Extra Large Raw King Prawns
  • 275g microwaveable rice noodles

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the shallot and ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, lime leaves, 2 stalks of the Thai basil, the pared lime zest and juice, fish sauce and maple syrup (or sugar). Simmer for 5 minutes.

  2. Add the pak choi or tatsoi, then add the prawns and simmer gently for another 3 minutes or until opaque and cooked through.

  3. Heat the rice noodles in the microwave according to pack instructions and divide between bowls. Discard the lime leaves and Thai basil from the pan, then ladle the prawns, veg and sauce over the noodles. Top with the remaining Thai basil leaves and serve immediately.

Cook’s tip

Leftovers love
Pop extra makrut lime leaves in the freezer in a sealed bag or container, ready for your next curry or stir-fry.

And to drink...

Beavertown Gamma Ray American Pale Ale
A crisp bitterness and refreshing finish mean this American pale ale pairs brilliantly with the aromatic prawns.
