Instructions

Step 1

For the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a large shallow non-reactive dish. Add the prawns and toss to coat, then cover with plastic film and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, for the pickle, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Taste and add more salt or sugar if desired, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium–high heat. When hot, add the prawns and the marinade and cook for 2 minutes, turning halfway through, until the prawns are cooked and the sauce has reduced. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Cook the noodles in a saucepan of simmering water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse well under cold running water.

Step 4

Place the noodles, prawns, pickled cucumber and chilli in a bowl and toss to combine. Turn out onto a platter, then drizzle with tamari or soy sauce to taste and garnish with coriander.
