Method

  • step 1

    Dry-fry the prawns and coriander stalks in a non-stick frying pan for 1-2 mins until the prawns are just pink. Add the noodles, beansprouts, egg, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Quickly toss together for 1 min more until the egg is just cooked and everything is well mixed – you might want to use a pair of tongs to make this easier.

  • step 2

    Remove from the heat, mix in most of the coriander leaves, then divide between 2 bowls. Scatter with the remaining coriander and the peanuts, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Not for me, a bit claggy and fishy, and the egg just went a bit weird. Would love to hear any ideas for how to get the egg into little clumps.

Absolutely disgusting and definitely not pad Thai. Just a weird fishy noodle dish. Gross!
