Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 heaped tbsp Thai green curry paste
- 220g stir-fry vegetable mix
- 150g raw prawns, shelled
- 180ml light coconut milk
- 220ml vegetable stock, made with 1 low-salt stock cube
- 250g straight-to-wok udon noodles
- 5g coriander, roughly chopped
- 5g Thai basil, roughly torn
For Garnish
- 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
- 1 spring onion, sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oil and curry paste: Heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 heaped tbsp of Thai green curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Add vegetables and prawns: Add 220g of stir-fry vegetable mix and 150g of shelled raw prawns to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns turn mostly pink.
- Add liquids and noodles: Pour in 180ml of light coconut milk and 220ml of vegetable stock (prepared with 1 low-salt stock cube). Add 250g of straight-to-wok udon noodles.
- Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the noodles are cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Divide the soup between two bowls. Sprinkle with roughly chopped coriander, torn Thai basil, sliced red chilli (optional), and sliced spring onion. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of curry paste to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh prawns for best flavor, but frozen can be substituted if thawed.
- Feel free to swap udon noodles for rice noodles or other noodle varieties.
- For a vegetarian version, omit prawns and use vegetable stock.
- Adding a squeeze of lime juice before serving boosts freshness.
