Method

A classic Thai takeaway order, this Pad Thai recipe uses fat, juicy tiger prawns nestled among rice noodles and a gorgeous balanced sweet, sour and salty sauce. Finish your dish with a scattering of crushed peanuts, chilli, spring onion and fresh herbs for the ultimate Friday night fakeaway, ready in just 20 minutes.

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the prawns for 3-4 minutes until just pink. (If you are using ready-cooked prawns, defrost if frozen, and stir-fry for just 1 minute). Add the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute more, then add the beaten egg and cook, stirring until lightly scrambled.
  2. Add the noodles, carrot, bean sprouts, sugar, fish sauce and lime zest and juice and cook for 1-2 minutes until piping hot.
  3. Sprinkle with the peanuts, chilli, spring onions and fresh parsley. Serve hot or cold.
