Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve & a large frying pan

Time to noodle

  • Add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked
  • Drain, then rinse under cold water

Prep the veg

  • Trim and slice the cabbage into 2cm slices
  • Trim and cut the fine green beans into 3cm pieces
  • Trim and halve the broccoli. Finely chop or crush the garlic

Build the dish

  • Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the veg and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening
  • Add the garlic and chilli flakes to the pan and cook for 1 min
  • Then add the prawns and cook for 3-4 mins
  • Add the tamari and honey, and cook for a further 1 min, until the prawns are pink and cooked through

Last bits

  • Add the noodles to the pan and toss to combine with the prawns and veg
  • Season with salt and 1 tsp of cracked black pepper. Thinly slice the spring onions for garnish

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
