Sweet and Sticky King Prawn Noodles

Once boiling, add the noodles to the pan of boiling water. Cook until tender, 4 mins. 

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

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once hot, add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown 4-5 mins.

Stir in the prawns and sliced pepper, adding a drizzle of more oil if needed. 

Fry until the prawns are cooked and the veg is starting to soften, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

While everything cooks, in a measuring jug, combine the ketjap manis, rice vinegar and cornflour. Mix well until smooth.

Once smooth, add the ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three amounts). Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.

Once your prawns and veg are cooked, add the sugar snaps and garlic and fry, 1 min more. 

Lower the heat to medium, then add the sticky sauce. Stir to combine and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, 2-3 mins. 

Remove from the heat, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
