Coconut Prawn Laksa Noodle Soup

Pop the (now empty) saucepan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the mushrooms, sliced pepper and young pea pods. Stir-fry until the veg is starting to soften, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the Thai style spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree. Fry until fragrant, 30 secs.

Drain the prawns, Once the spices are fragrant, stir in the prawns, coconut milk, veg stock paste and water for the soup (see pantry for amount).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Simmer gently until the veg has softened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

When the veg has softened, 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.

Stir in the soy sauce, the lime zest and a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice and salt if needed.
