Prawn and tomato noodles
Recipe by Mandy Yin
This is a lovely stir-fried noodle dish to have up your sleeve. Fresh tomatoes must be used rather than tinned, making it perfect for when you have some sad old tomatoes crying out to be used up

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 100g fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1½ tbsp Malaysian Adabi meat curry powder (or make your own by combining ½ tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp ground turmeric, ¼ tsp finely ground black pepper and ¼ tsp ground cumin)
- 300g fresh egg noodles
- 200g choi sum, cut into 5cm pieces
- 200g frozen raw peeled king prawns, defrosted
- 2 eggs
For the seasoning
- 2 tbsp kicap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 1½ tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce of your choice
- ½ tsp caster sugar
To serve
- 2 tbsp dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 red chillies, finely sliced
Step by step
- Mix the seasoning ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a non-stick wok over a medium-high heat. Stir-fry the garlic, tomatoes and curry powder (or blend of spices) and cook for 1 minute, then add the noodles, choi sum and the seasoning mix. Stir-fry for 4 minutes. Add the prawns and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Push everything to the side of the wok, leaving a small corner empty. Crack your eggs into this empty corner, and leave for 15 seconds, then gently scramble before incorporating into the noodles. Stir-fry for 1 more minute.
- Garnish with the peanuts, spring onions and chillies before serving.
