Top Tips for making this Stir Fry:
Prep everything before cooking: Stir frying moves quickly, so have all your ingredients chopped, measured, and ready to go before you start cooking.
Use Fresh Wide Noodles: Flat wide noodles work best for this recipe, absorbing the sauce while staying chewy. If they’re refrigerated, loosen them in hot water before adding them to the wok.
Don’t Overcook the Prawns: Prawns cook in just 2-3 minutes, so keep an eye on them to ensure they stay juicy and tender. Overcooked prawns can become rubbery.
