Recipe method

Preheat the oven to 200'C.

Cook the noodles in a large amount of salted water. Once tender, drain and wash with cold water.

Peel and finely dice the red onions. Pick the coriander leaves and roughly chop. Cut the lemongrass into 3 pieces. Finely chop the chilli. Finely slice the mange tout and spring onion. Juice 1 of the limes and cut the other into 6 wedges.

Roast the peanuts in the oven for 5 minutes until golden brown and when cool, chop finely.

Remove the heads, shells and the black spine from the prawns.

Heat the ground nut oil in a pan and add the onion. Once the onion is transparent, add the prawns, mange tout and then the lemongrass and the garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes until the prawns are cooked, then deglaze the pan with the lime juice and fish sauce. Add the cooked noodles, bean sprouts ato the pan. Make sure the noodles are hot, remove the lemongrass and serve in deep bowls. Finish with a srpinkle of peanuts, spring onions and a wedge of lime.

This recipe would also work well with chicken, tofu or beef instead of the prawns.

    This didn't do it for me; in missing out two key ingredients (egg and beansprouts) it didn't taste like pad thai more like normal stir fry noodles. Also a bit heavy on the noodles to other ingredients ratio.
