Prawns Chinese style

We still had a prawn ring in the fridge and I thought we would use them in our dinner, instead of during our aperitif.

A surprisingly tasty meal which I will share with you.

Shopping list:

200 grams of prawns

¾ Red chili (remove seeds)

1 leek

150 grams Chinese wok vegetables (frozen or fresh)

200 grams Noodles

½ Lemon for the juice

Sweet Chili sauce

2 tsp 5 Spices 

Sunflower oil


How to prepare the dish:

First boil the noodles in water for about 5 minutes and then rinse immediately in a colander with cold water. These go later in the wok or frying pan.
Remove the tails of the prawns.

Chop the chili very small. Cut the leek in rings and wash them.


Put a splash of sunflower oil in the wok or frying pan.

Add 2 tsp 5 spices

Then add the chili, leek and wok vegetables

If they are crunchy, add the prawns

Pour the juice of half a lemon

Add a generous 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce


Finally, add the noodles and mix everything together making sure it's warmed all the way through.
