Asian Prawns with Noodles

Asian Prawns with Noodles is a spicy dish that is ideal all year round. The amazing combination of the prawns, the noodles with the sauce and dried chillies hits the mark perfectly. You can change the amount of chillies but the heat needs to be present. Serve as a main dish for a lovely light yet filling dish. This is also one of my go to dishes when I get back from work and the house is quiet.
