Method

  • step 1

    In a wok or large saucepan, bring the stock to the boil. Stir the sauces into the stock, then add the ginger. Simmer for a moment, then add the prawns: if raw, simmer for 2 mins until they turn pink; if cooked, add together with the bok choi, then cook for 2 mins more until just wilted.

  • step 2

    Slip all the noodles into the broth, then gently stir to loosen them. Bring the liquid back to a simmer, then cook for 2 mins more to warm them through. Scatter with spring onions and serve straight from the wok, using tongs for the noodles and a ladle for the broth.

If you’ve got leftover roast chicken, shred it and use it instead of the prawns.

question

Since this serves 4, I was thinking of portioning it up and having this for lunch throughout the week? Will that be a good idea or is this good only fresh?

Hi Ana, You could halve the recipe and eat it over two days but I wouldn't advise keeping it for any longer. For the portion you intend to keep, the noodles will keep absorbing liquid so just heat as many as you intend to eat and add the rest to the remaining broth when it's cold. reheat the lot…

I doubled up the 3 sauces, added 1 teaspoon each of chili flakes and white & Black pepper and doubled up on the spring onions. It is nice, but with a few tweeks could be very nice. It would also work without the prawns

I've just cooked this recipe and it was terrible. I use the BBC good food site religiously. This is the first five star recipe that has flopped. Not to drone on but... I can't even imagine how it should've tasted relative to other Chinese recipes. Gutted!
