Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
- 250 grams rice noodles
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece red chilli, finely sliced
- 100 ml sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 30 grams fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
- 500 ml water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the rice noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 6-8 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red chilli to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the prawns (shrimp) to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Lower the heat to medium and pour in the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir well to coat the prawns evenly.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and toss thoroughly to combine with the sauce and prawns.
Toss in the fresh basil leaves and stir just until wilted, about 1 minute.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates, garnish with sliced spring onions, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the dish.
