Nothing will ever beat my obsession with noodles and chilli, and this dish truly combines everything I love in one bowl! It’s super easy to make, and can be easily meal prepped or turned into a dinner for four, simply multiply the recipe by the number of serves you would like to make.
Another reason why I love this recipe so much is because it is super customizable, you could swap the prawns for any protein, you could use tofu if you want to keep it plant based, or even omit the protein all together and enjoy a 2 minute style noodle dish.
Ingredients:
Here are the ingredients you will need to make your own bowl of Chilli Prawn Noodles:
- Thin wheat noodles: I love using Chef’s world thin noodles as I buy them in bulk- it comes in a 2kg pack, and each serving of noodles is 62.5g (they are already pre portioned!)- it comes to 233 calories per serve. It’s also good $5.50 on Amazon for the 2kg pack, super affordable!
- Garlic, chili flakes, and white part of green onion: for the aromatics.
- Low sodium soy, and sweetener: to season the noodles.
- Light butter: to lightly fry the aromatics- my favourite brand is Nuttelex, but feel free to use any butter, it does not have to be light or plant based.
- Peeled fresh prawns- For protein, but feel free to sub for chicken, beef, tofu etc.
- Green onion, and sesame seeds: for garnish.
The highlight of this recipe is its simplicity and how flavorful it is. I love how simple and healthy this dish is, and how versatile it is, you could easily add an array of different toppings.
Some optional toppings could include; onions, mushrooms, carrots, peas or even blanched greens such as bok choy or Chinese broccoli.
Also don’t forget to finish off the dish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon juice, acidity goes a long way!
