Instructions

Cook the Noodles
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan on medium heat.

c) Add the noodles and 1/2 tsp salt to the water and cook until tender, 4 mins. 

d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together. 

Prep Time
2

a) Meanwhile, trim the pak choi, then cut into roughly 2cm pieces.

b) Finely chop the coriander (stalks and all). Zest and quarter the lime (see ingredients for amount).

c) Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Make your Laksa
3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

b) Add the yellow Thai style paste and cook, stirring, for 1 min.

c) Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and stir in the peanut butter until well combined. 

Add the Prawns and Veg
4

a) Drain the prawns, then add them to the laksa with the mangetout and pak choi.

b) Stir well and cook until the prawns are cooked and veg is tender, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

c) Meawhile, in a small bowl, combine the coriander, lime zest, peanuts, olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for amount) and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside your coriander pesto.

Finishing Touches
5

a) Once the prawns are cooked, stir the cooked noodles into the laksa and heat through until piping hot, 1 min. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

b) Stir through a good squeeze of lime juice. 

c) Taste and season with pepper and more lime juice if you like.

Serve Up
6

a) Share your prawn laksa between your bowls and drizzle over the coriander pesto.

b) Cut any remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside. 

Enjoy!
