How to prepare your prawn stir-fry

Like many stir-fries, this recipe for prawn stir-fry is fast and takes 10 minutes to cook once all the ingredients are prepared, so it helps to have everything ready to go.

  • Pre-cook your noodles – they should be almost fully cooked by the time they are tossed into the stir-fry. Separate the noodles while they are in the bowl of boiling water, so that they don’t end up a clumpy mess when they are stir-fried later on. Scoop the noodles out and plunge them in cold water, before straining them until they are dry. Coat them in a bit of oil and set aside. 

  • Stir-fry prawns separately to ensure they’re not overcooked and rubbery. Toss them into the rest of the stir-fry later on to coat with the sauce.  

  • Fresh or frozen prawns can be used in this recipe. Thaw the frozen prawns completely in the fridge and drain before cooking them.

  • If you’re using frozen veggies, there’s no need to thaw them first. Stir-fry them frozen, draining any excess liquid before you toss in your noodles.

  • Spin dry or pat dry any washed veggies or canned veggies to remove excess moisture before stir-frying. 

  • Chop all the veggies to similar sizes and shapes so they cook evenly and at the same time. 

Tips for cooking prawn with noodles stir-fry

  • When stir-frying, always keep the wok or pan over high heat, avoid overcrowding the pan, and keep stirring or tossing the ingredients around in the wok or pan.

  • Toss the broccoli and snow peas first for 1 minute.

  • Add the stir-fried prawns and toss for 1 minute.

  • Cut up the noodles into 15-20 cm pieces and add them to the stir-fry.

  • Add the sauce and stir-fry noodles, prawns and veggies until they’re all coated with the sauce and just heated through. Turn off the heat, then transfer to a serving platter.

  • Adding fresh herbs? Stir them through after turning off the heat.
