You need

Plus oil, salt, pepper and water.

Method

  1. Slice the pepper and carrot thinly and cut the broccoli into small florets. Chop the garlic and grate the ginger. Do all of this before any heat goes on: stir-frying is fast.
  2. Cook the noodles for the time on the packet (about 4 minutes) and drain.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in your largest pan over a high heat until very hot. Add the carrot and broccoli and keep them moving for 3 minutes. Add the pepper, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the prawns and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink all the way through.
  5. Add the noodles, the soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of water. Toss for 1 minute. Serve half. Cool the rest quickly and put it in the fridge.
Remember this: Chop everything first, pan very hot, keep it moving.
