Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Cover the noodles with just-boiled water, leave for 3 mins, then drain through a colander. Divide the noodles between four bowls.

  • STEP 2

    Juice two and a half limes. Cut the remaining half into four and place one in each noodle bowl.

  • STEP 3

    Stir together the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and garlic in a small bowl, until the sugar has dissolved. Put the prawns in a shallow bowl. Pick and roughly chop one quarter of the basil and scatter over the prawns. Add 2 tbsp of the sauce to the prawns. Leave to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

  • STEP 4

    Divide the lettuce, carrots and cucumber between the noodle bowls, arranging each in separate piles. Add a handful of the remaining Thai basil to each bowl, along with a few leaves of mint and/or coriander, if you have any, plus a little mound of the crisp shallots.

  • STEP 5

    Add 3 tbsp water to the remaining sauce and mix it through the prawns before dividing between the noodle bowls. Finish each bowl with a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of sriracha.
