    A comforting and veggie packed noodle dish that is ready in just 5 minutes. These Garlic Prawn Noodles use up leftovers of our Asian Slaw giving these noodles plenty of crunch and a colourful meal in minutes. Add some chilli sauce for an extra kick of flavour.

    Prawns cook so fast that they are always our go-to protein source when we want a quick meal. Prawns are low in fat and a good source of calcium and potassium too, so we try to eat them at least once a week.

    Why should you try it?

    • Ready in just 5 minutes
    • Low calorie meal
    • Easy to adapt
    • Good source of protein

    Ingredients

    • 150g king prawns
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 150g straight to wok noodles
    • 2 portions of Asian Slaw
    Carrots, cabbage, an apple, cashews, noodles, prawns, herbs and spices on a wooden surface

    Step by Step

    One: Put the oil, prawns and garlic in a bowl and mix well.
    Two: Heat a pan and put the garlic prawns in and cook for 2 minutes. 
    Three: Add the straight to wok noodles and cook for a further 2 minutes.
    Four: Put the prawn noodles in a big bowl with the Asian slaw, mix well and serve.

    Step by step process to making Garlic Prawn Noodles

    Alternatives to prawn/shrimp

    If you aren't a big fan of prawns, then you could make this with chicken, but cooking times would vary unless you are using leftover cooked chicken. You could swap the prawns for cooked marinated tofu pieces as well, and the cooking time would still be just 5 minutes.

    How much garlic?

    There is a fair bit of garlic in this recipe, but with garlic in the title you really would hope so wouldn't you. You could use less, or not use any at all, but the garlic really does make the dish.

    If all the garlic flavour isn't quite enough for you, then why not add some chilli sauce just before serving. We love a drizzle of sriracha to kick things up a notch. I would seriously put that stuff on everything!

    What noodles are best?

    The noodles really couldn't be any easier, and I think the cook time of just 4 minutes reflects that. Plus, as you are using up leftovers of our Crunchy Asian Slaw, there's really hardly any prep time either.

    You could use dried noodles, but for ease we have used the straight to wok ones that we always have a couple of packs of in our cupboard. If you have some of those, some vegetables, protein and some soy sauce then you have yourself a meal!

    Extra tips

    • Add some chilli sauce for an extra kick of flavour. I love a drizzle of sriracha. 
    • If you don't eat prawns, you could so this with chicken or tofu, but the cooking times would vary.
    • Don't have any of our Asian Slaw to use up? Just shred up any veggies you have around and fry them up for a couple of minutes before cooking the prawns.

      That looks so colourful. I don't make many noodle dishes and I don't know why.
