Cooking Steps

Start the Prep
1

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways. Trim and halve the green beans.

Zest and halve the lime.

Fry the Mushrooms
2

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

Once hot, add the mushrooms to the pan and fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 mins.

Bring the Flavour
3

Stir the red Thai style paste, Thai style spice blend (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and garlic into the mushrooms. 

Stir-fry for 1 min.

Meanwhile, drain the prawns.

Add the Prawns
4

Add the prawns, coconut milk, soy sauce, sugar and water for the soup (see pantry for both amounts) into the pan.

Bring to the boil, then add the green beans and the pak choi. Simmer until just tender, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Cook the Noodles
5

Add the udon noodles to the soup and cook, using a fork to gently separate them, until warmed through, 2-3 mins.

Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the lime zest and half the lime juice

Taste the soup and add more salt, pepper, lime juice and sugar if needed. 

Serve
6

Share the udon noodle soup between your bowls.

Cut any remaining lime into wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: Bold Thai flavours with coconut, lime, and spice come through well; some find the lime can overpower if used in full, so add it gradually to taste.
  • Ease of prep: A straightforward one-pan dish that comes together quickly, making it a great option even on busy evenings.
  • Suggestions: Use less water for a thicker, more curry-like consistency, or add extra paste and a splash of stock to deepen the flavour. Adding tofu, king prawns, or extra vegetables such as baby sweetcorn or sugar snap peas works well for a more substantial meal.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers reheat well, though the udon noodles can turn soggy overnight, so this one is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Spice level: The heat varies noticeably, so start with less paste and spice blend, then build up to suit your preference.
