Main Ingredients
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 heaped tbsp Thai green curry paste
- 220g stir-fry vegetable mix
- 150g raw prawns, shelled
- 180ml light coconut milk
- 220ml vegetable stock, made with 1 low-salt stock cube
- 250g straight-to-wok udon noodles
- 5g coriander, roughly chopped
- 5g Thai basil, roughly torn
- 1 red chilli, sliced, to serve (optional)
- 1 spring onion, sliced, to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Thai green curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its aromatic flavors.
- Cook the vegetables and prawns: Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and raw shelled prawns to the saucepan. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns turn mostly pink.
- Add liquids and noodles: Pour in the light coconut milk and the prepared vegetable stock made from the low-salt stock cube. Add the udon noodles to the pot.
- Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes until the noodles are soft and the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Serve: Divide the soup evenly between two bowls. Garnish with roughly chopped coriander, torn Thai basil, sliced red chilli (optional), and sliced spring onion for added freshness and spice.
Notes
- Use low-salt vegetable stock to keep the sodium levels moderate.
- Adjust the amount of Thai green curry paste depending on your heat preference.
- For a vegetarian version, replace prawns with tofu and use vegetable-based curry paste.
- Ensure not to overcook the noodles to maintain a pleasant texture.
