Broomhilda

150 to 175 grams thin Asian-style rice noodles (see Note)

1 ½ tsp sesame oil

2 Tbsp 2 tsp vegetable oil (divided)

12 raw, medium or large prawns, peeled with tip of the tail portion left intact (see Eric’s options)

½ cup chicken or vegetable stock

1 Tbsp 2 tsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp rice vinegar

½ medium green bell pepper, cut into strips

½ medium red bell pepper, cut into strips

½ medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger

1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped

1 ½ tsp mild or medium curry powder

2 green onions, each cut in half lengthwise, and then sliced, widthwise, into 1-inch pieces

chopped cilantro, to taste (optional)

Bring eight cups of water to a boil. Place noodles in a wide, heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over noodles and soak 60 to 90 seconds, until softened (be careful not overcook them). Drain noodles well, cool in ice-cold water, drain well again and put back in the bowl. Toss noodles with the sesame oil and set aside for now.

Place 1 Tbsp of the vegetable oil in a very large skillet or wok set over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the prawns and cook about one minute per side, or until just cooked through. Remove pan from the heat, lift prawns out of it and set on a plate.

In a small bowl, combine the stock, soy sauce and vinegar.

Set the pan back over medium-high heat and add the remaining oil. When oil is hot, add the bell pepper and onion and stir fry two minutes. Add ginger, garlic and curry powder and cook and stir 30 to 60 seconds more.

Add the noodles, prawns, green onion and stock mixture and toss and cook two minutes, or until noodles are piping hot. Divide noodles between two shallow bowls, sprinkle with cilantro, if using, and enjoy.

note: Note: Dried, thin, Asian-style rice noodles, also called rice stick, bánh pho or vermicelli, are sold in the Asian foods aisle of grocery stores. Package sizes can vary. Remove what you need for this recipe, and save the rest for another time.
