Speedy prawn & ginger mango noodles

Speedy prawn & ginger mango noodles

Mango and prawns are a match made in heaven – especially when they’re given a kick from chilli, garlic and ginger, and tossed together with crunchy red cabbage, oodles of noodles and stir-fried spring onions, mangetout and pepper. This dish looks pretty as a picture, too.

Prep & fry

  • Slice the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Deseed and thinly slice the peppers, and finely dice the chillies (deseed for less heat). Peel and finely grate the ginger, and peel and crush the garlic.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Cook the spring onions and peppers for 3-4 mins.

Turn up the flavour!

  • Add half the diced chillies (to taste), the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 min.
  • Tip in the prawns and mangetout and sprinkle in the tamari. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the prawns are pink.
  • Crumble in the stock, pour in 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions) and stir well, then simmer for 1 min.

Boil the noodles

  • Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain, then rinse.

Bring everything together

  • Meanwhile, core and trim the cabbage, then thinly slice half (all of it for 4 portions) saving any leftover cabbage for another dish. Finely chop the coriander. Stone the mango and dice the flesh into 1cm cubes.
  • In a mixing bow, combine the cabbage and coriander with the veg, prawns and noodles. Mix well.
  • To serve, top with the mango and the remaining chillies (to taste).
