King prawn, lime and chilli noodles recipe
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce sugar and juice of half a lime, taking care to remove the pips if they fall in.
Next, cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, drain them and set aside until the sauce has been made.
To make the fragrant sauce, fry the onions, chilli and garlic in a pan for five minutes with a splash of olive oil. Cook until they’re soft, but don’t let anything brown too much.
Add the prawns and fry for one minute, then add the noodles, and half of the peanuts and continue to cook over medium heat.
To make the dressing, mix two parts lime and chilli-infused olive oil and one part garlic and ginger balsamic.
Portion the noodles into two warmed dishes, scatter over the rest of the peanuts and serve with the remaining half of the lime cut into small wedges, and then pour over the dressing.
