Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 200g (7 oz) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 70g (2.5 oz) rice noodles, dry
  • 120g (2 cups) pak choi or spinach
  • 30g (2 tbsp) soy sauce
  • 15g (1 tbsp) honey
  • 1 tbsp (12ml) sesame oil
  • 12g (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 6g (2 tsp) sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp chilli flakes, 2 spring onions

Method

  1. Soak the noodles in hot tap water 12 min, drain and rinse cold.
  2. Pat the prawns completely dry and salt them lightly.
  3. Sear them in half the sesame oil over high heat, 75 seconds a side, then take them straight out. They are not done and that is correct.
  4. Lower the heat, add the rest of the oil and the garlic, and cook 45 seconds until fragrant, not brown.
  5. Add the soy, honey, vinegar and chilli flakes and let it bubble for 30 seconds.
  6. Add the noodles and the greens and toss for 90 seconds until the greens wilt and the sauce clings.
  7. Return the prawns and any juices for a final 30 seconds - that is where they finish cooking.
  8. Finish with sesame seeds and spring onion.

Tip: the prawns come out after ninety seconds and go back in at the very end. Left in the wok throughout they turn to rubber.
