Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Gran Luchito Chipotle Chilli Paste
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- A bunch of coriander, leaves and stalks roughly chopped separately
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 350g / 12 oz raw king prawns
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bunch of spring onions, roughly chopped
- 4cm / 1 ¾ inch piece of root ginger, grated
- 100g / 3 ½ oz beansprouts
- A handful of peanuts, crushed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 200g / 7 oz egg noodles, cooked
- ½ lime, cut into wedges
How to make it
- In a food processor, whizz up the Gran Luchito Chipotle Chilli Paste, lime zest and juice, coriander stalks, garlic, sugar and fish sauce into a paste. Empty onto the prawns in a bowl and mix well. (This could be done a couple of hours before so as to maximise the effect of the marinade.)
- Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, add the spring onions and ginger and fry for about a minute.
- Add the beansprouts and fry for another 2 minutes, followed by the crushed peanuts, soy sauce and a good pinch of pepper. Empty the contents of the wok into a bowl, clean the wok, then return it to the heat.
- Heat another 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok. Once hot, use a slotted spoon to add the prawns (leaving the marinade in the bowl for now) to the wok and toss in the hot oil.
- After a minute or so (once the prawns have turned pink), turn down the heat, add the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the noodles, vegetables and half of the coriander leaves. Mix well, then sprinkle with the coriander leaves and serve with wedges of lime.
