Fancy a dish full of thai-inspired flavours and creamy prawn noodles? This soup's packed full of nutrients and flavour
Here we have a very tasty Thai-inspired prawn noodle soup. Packed with protein, slow-releasing carbs, fats and minerals, it’s a great meal for muscle recovery and replenishing lost electrolytes after exercise.
Keep a variety of noodles and tins of coconut milk in your store cupboard, a pack of lime leaves and raw prawns in your freezer so you can get this one cooked in no time.
In a saucepan bring the stock and half the coconut milk to the boil. Add the lime leaves and ginger. Bash the lemon grass with a rolling pin and add to the stock. Boil for 2mins and turn down to a low heat. Add mushrooms, spring onions, chilli paste and chillies.
Add the prawns, then the lime juice, sugar and 1 tbsp fish sauce (to taste) and simmer for a couple of minutes until the prawns turn pink. Taste and adjust the flavour with more chilli paste, fish sauce, sugar or lime juice.
Cook the noodles in a pan and drain. Remove the lemon grass, then add noodles. Stir in the basil leaves and serve in warmed bowls.
