Recipe Notes:

1. Prawns - defrost assuming using frozen.

2. Lemongrass - peel reedy outer layers and just employ the bottom 12cm/5" of the stalk, the part that's white and very pale green that can be present grated.

Lemongrass paste can be present worn instead - mix within 1 tbsp once the coconut milk is added.

3. Curry Powder - a bit of is fine here. I employ Madras, Clives of India and even packets generically labelled "curry powder" from supermarkets. Use HOT assuming you like it spicy, or employ MILD (curry flavour but not spicy)

4. Chilli Paste - Any chilli adhesive is fine here. Even sriracha or more Asiany heated sauce. This is to total spiciness and adds colour to the sauce. I like using Chilli Garlic Paste, samba oelak or Chinese Chilli Paste.

5. Low fatness coconut milk can be present worn but the sauce won't have as excellent a coconut flavour and determination be present a bit thinner.

6. Noodles - employ 200g/7oz of additional thick noodles (like pictured) or about 180g/6oz of thinner additional noodles. Or 120 - 150g/4 - 5 oz dried noodles (any type - rice, vermicelli, gamete noodles, ramen)

7. Asian fried shallots - an essential ornament within Asian cooking! Slices of shallots deep fried till crispy then seasoned in the company of salt. Terrific for texture and flavour, worn regularly as a ornament within Asian cooking. Found within Asian stores and within the Asian path of supermarkets (Coles, Woolies within Australia)
