Sweet and spicy prawn curry
- 200 gr. prawns
- 200 ml. coconut milk
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 onion
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. tumeric
- 1/2 tsp. chile flakes
- 1 packet rice noodles
- Get the ingredients together (the glass in the background isn't an ingredient - it's my Summer cooking companion - iced white wine with sparkling water :-) )
- Wash, peel and cut finely the onion and garlic cloves.
- Fry the spices over a low heat for a couple of minutes to release their flavours.
- Be very careful not to overdo it.
- Heating encourages the flavours to merge, over-heating burns them.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry over a moderate heat for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time.
- Lower the heat to minimum, cover the pan and leave for 10 minutes.
- Add the prawns, stir for a minute or so over a moderate heat....
- ... and add the coconut milk.
- Stir well and cover again for another 5 minutes over a low heat.
- Remove the lid and take out the prawns.
- If you overcook them they will become leathery.
- Put the heat on moderate and let the sauce bubble and thicken.
- Fill a large pan with water and a pinch of salt and when it starts to boil add the noodles.
- They will only need to cook for about 4 minutes.
- As soon as they are done, drain into a seive and hold under cold running water for a few seconds.
- Try the sauce and add salt if you need to.
- Add the prawns to the pan, stir for a couple of minutes
- Serve the rice noodles in warm bowls.
- Add the curry and sprinkle the shredded fresh coriander on top.
- Enjoy!
