Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 100g (3 oz) mange tout also called snow peas
- 1 red chilli, chopped
- 2 nests vermicelli noodles circa 100g/3 oz
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic about 4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons mild curry powder or hot curry powder
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 200 grams (7 oz) king prawns
- 2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped
- handful fresh coriander (cilantro)
Instructions
- Prepare all the vegetables: Finely dice the onions, slice the peppers into thin strips, chop up the spring onions, halve the mange tout lengthwise (or leave them whole) and deseed and slice the chilli
- Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 5 minutes until they are softened but still slightly firm (al dente). Drain and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until they are well blended.
- In a small bowl, combine the hoisin and light soy sauce. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a large wok or frying pan, heat half of the sesame oil over medium-high heat and sauté the garlic, ginger and chilli for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the remaining sesame oil, then add the onions, bell peppers, spring onions, mange tout, curry powder, turmeric, sugar, salt and prawns. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Tip the drained noodles into the pan. Using tongs, chopsticks or two forks, carefully toss the noodles with the other ingredients until they are well combined.
- Move all the ingredients to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Continuously stir the eggs until they are softly set, then mix them in with the rest of the noodle mixture.
- Finally, drizzle the hoisin and soy sauce over the noodles and mix well. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Check for seasoning and add more if desired.
- Spoon the noodles into bowls and generously top with chopped peanuts and a sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the prawns: Prawns cook quickly and become rubbery if left too long.
- Cook noodles al dente: This helps them keep their shape and prevents mushiness when tossed in the sauce.
- Timing is key: Aim to have the noodles ready just as the prawns and noodles are cooked. Cold noodles can stick together, making it harder to incorporate.
