Instructions
step 1
Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly. In a small saucepan melt together the peanut butter, coconut milk, sweet chilli sauce and half the spring onions, adding 1-2 tbsp of water to loosen the mixture to a drizzling consistency.
step 2
Mix the noodles, cucumber and beansprouts in a serving dish. Top with the prawns, drizzle over the peanut sauce and scatter over the remaining spring onions.
Chef tips
• Rinse the cooked noodles under cold water and drain thoroughly so they don’t dilute the sauce. • Use the stated 1–2 tbsp water to loosen the peanut sauce to a drizzling consistency. • Reserve half the spring onions to scatter over the finished salad.
