Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to the boil

Get started

  • Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger. Cut the carrots into 1/2cm thick half-moons (peel optional). Heat a large wok or saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 3-5 mins, until golden

Finish the prep

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the spring onions. Add the garlic, ginger and three-quarters of the spring onions to the pan. Cook for 2 mins, then add the cavolo nero and cook for 1 min.

Simmer the soup

  • Add the coconut milk, curry paste and 400ml hot water (200ml for 1 person) to the saucepan. Crumble in the stock and stir. Bring to a boil, then add the prawns. Simmer for 9 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
  • Add the noodles to the pan of boiling water, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Final touches

  • Roughly chop the coriander. Quarter the lime. Squeeze in the juice from 2 lime wedges and stir in half the coriander. Season with salt and pepper.

Plate up

  • Serve the noodle and prawns into bowls. Garnish with remaining coriander, spring onions and lime wedges.
