Ingredients

150g dried folded rice noodles
2 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp light brown soft sugar
1 tsp light brown soft sugar
2 tbsp groundnut oil
180g pack raw king prawns
1 small onion, halved and sliced
230g bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tsp finely grated fresh root ginger
½ Thai chilli, sliced
25g pack Cooks’ Ingredients Thai Basil, leaves only
½ lime, in wedges

Method

Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover with just-boiled water and soak for 6 minutes. Drain and rinse off the excess starch under the cold tap, then set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the soy, fish and oyster sauces with the sugar and 1 tbsp water.
Put 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Once very hot, add the prawns. Fry for 5 minutes until cooked through, pink and opaque; tip on to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and stir-fry the onion and asparagus for 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger, then fry for another minute. Tip in the chilli and most of the basil; fry for 30 seconds, then add the noodles and soy sauce mixture and fry for 1 more minute. Toss the prawns through the noodles and heat for a final 1 minute. Scatter with the remaining basil leaves, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
