CHEF MO’S SPICY COCONUT NOODLE BOWL
Set a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil and heat gently.
Add:
* 1 finely chopped onion
* 3 crushed garlic cloves
* 2 tsp finely grated ginger
* 1tsp chopped red chili
* A stalk of lemongrass (bruise lightly using a mallet)
* 1 tbsp of your favourite curry paste
*A pinch of turmeric
Simply Cook until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Now Pour in:
* 1 can of coconut milk
* 1 cup of vegetable broth
* A handful of freshly chopped coriander
Stir well and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Add a generous dash of soy sauce and 1 tbsp of honey for that beautiful sweet, salty and savoury balance.
Keep tasting and adjust the seasoning to your liking
Now Cook your noodles of choice according to the packet instructions & set aside. Find the widest range of noodles and pastas in store 24/7
Now for the toppings-
Here’s where you can really have fun with the dish & add what you love. For our version, Muhammad Patel used :
* Crispy prawns: Sea&salt crumbed prawns, deep-fried until golden. The panko coating gives the perfect crunch on this protein packed addition
* Charred bok choy: Grill on a hot griddle pan until slightly softened and beautifully charred for a smoky finish. Alternatively, chop and cook directly in the broth for a softer consistency.
* Garlic butter shimeji mushrooms: Gently sautéed in butter and garlic for an extra layer of flavour.
Let’s assemble-
Ladle in your rich broth and throw in your noodles. Arrange prawns & veg over & go crazy with the toppings!
Spicy peanuts, thinly sliced chilli, toasted sesame seeds, fresh coriander & spring onions.
And for the show stopper- a mountain of fried vermicelli noodles atop it all! Not just a pretty finish, but a wonderful delicately crunchy element adding more dimension! Just a drizzle of chilli oil & you’re ready to serve 🍜 🌶️
