speedy prawn noodles

This is one of those dishes that I can almost always make with the ingredients I have in my freezer, fridge and cupboard. All you need is:

-prawns from the freezer (I try to keep some seafood in as it is just so handy)
-egg noodles (or rice) from the cupboard
-an assortment of veggies, fresh or frozen, though peas are quite important
-soy sauce

The quantities are generally interchangeable.

I like knowing I have a back-up dish at all times, in case one of my vegetables goes off, or I just don’t feel like having one night.

Tonight, I used broccoli, peas, spring onions, prawns, groundnut oil and soy sauce. I scavenged for some sesame seeds, but to no avail. I’ll have to get some in for next time.

Other good options: red peppers, carrots and courgettes.

Basically, just stir fry all but the noodles together (boil those separately for a minute or two), and add the noodles into the wok for the two minutes to soak up the soy juices. Serve immediately. In and out in under 20 minutes.
