Make homemade Thai noodle stir-fry with ease and skip takeout.
Ingredients:
- 40.00 ml dried shrimp (see top tips)
- 200g dried rice stick noodles
- 40.00 ml grated palm sugar
- 52.50 gm lime juice or lemon juice
- 48.80 gm fish sauce
- 100ml peanut oil
- 10 medium green king prawns, peeled with tails intact, cleaned
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 spring onions, thinly sliced, plus extra, to serve
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 30.00 ml Chinese pickled radish,(see top tips) finely chopped
- 50.00 ml finely chopped roasted peanuts, plus extra, to serve
- 165.00 ml bean sprouts, plus extra, to serve
- Dried chilli flakes, to serve
- Coriander sprigs, to serve
- Lime cheeks, to serve
Instructions:
- Place the dried shrimp in a small heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then make sure to drain them well.
- First, soak noodles in a heatproof bowl with boiling water for 8 minutes until soft. Drain the noodles. Next, mix sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Finally, finely chop the soaked shrimp and set them aside.
- In a hot wok, sizzle 2 tablespoons of oil. Toss in prawns and stir-fry for 3 minutes until they're perfectly cooked. Plate them up and enjoy!
- Pour the remaining 60ml (1/4 cup) oil into the wok and heat it over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in the spring onions and eggs, stir and cook for 1 minute until the eggs begin to set. Add the noodles and break up the eggs, then pour in the fish sauce mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 3 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add the prawns back into the wok along with the soaked shrimp, pickled radish, peanuts, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the mixture is dry and the bean sprouts are slightly wilted. Taste the noodles and add more palm sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce to reach a slightly sweet, salty, and sour flavor profile, if desired.
- Distribute noodles evenly among bowls, then garnish with extra peanuts, bean sprouts, chili flakes, and fresh coriander. Accompany with lime wedges for serving.
