Prawn Noodle Soup

Prawn Noodle Soup is one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. It is full of flavour, textures, heat and an enticing aroma. The soft prawns cooked in the soup absorb all of the flavours with ease. The noodles both bulk up the dish and add a new texture. This Chinese inspired dish is so quick to prepare and cook it has become a family favourite main course and side dish. Adding the chopped mange tout with spring onions adds colour and crunch.
