- Prawns – Shrimp, pork ribs, tofu, or chicken would all be delicious in this noodle recipe.

- Kid friendly – If you use a dark soy sauce, it will be a bit sweeter. You could also try some soft brown sugar to sweeten it up for kids.
How to make Prawn Noodles
Step 1: Cook the rice noodles according to packet instructions. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan or large wok over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant.
Step 3: Add red pepper, broccoli, prawns and tamari sauce to the large frying pan and cook until the prawns are nicely pink and the veg has softened (5-7 minutes).
Step 4: Finally, add sesame oil and cooked rice noodles and toss all to combine and reheat noodles.
Hint: Be sure to stir while cooking so the ingredients don’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Leftovers
Leftover Prawn Noodles can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Remember that prawns should only be cooked twice. Add some water to loosen the sauce if needed.

Loved this. Nice and easy to make. Used oyster sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Next time I will add a touch of fresh chilly, just to give it a wee kick. Although it was delicious as it was.
Thanks Gill 🙂
Quick, easy and the family loved it!
Thanks!!
