THAI NOODLES WITH CINNAMON AND PRAWNS



Thai noodles with cinnamon and prawns image

It's not often that I eat something that tastes so different to anything I've come across before. But this is such a dish. A mesmerically talented chef called Tum cooked it when I was on holiday in Thailand last year, and I made him cook it again and again. I just had to share this spectacularly unfamiliar but compelling recipe with you. I hope you will be as bowled over by it as I was.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
3cm/1¼in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and cut into fine matchsticks
1 star anise
½ long or 1 short stick cinnamon, broken into shards
2-3 leafy stems from the top of 1 stick celery, stems cut into short lengths, leaves roughly chopped
1½ tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
¼ tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp chicken stock concentrate
1 tbsp ketjap manis (or 1 tbsp dark soy sauce mixed with 1 tbsp soft dark brown sugar)
10 raw peeled king prawns, thawed if frozen
80g/2¾oz mung bean (glass) noodles or rice vermicelli, soaked and drained as per packet instructions
fat pinch ground cinnamon
fat pinch ground cloves

Steps:

  • On a high heat, heat the oil in a large wok. Add the garlic, ginger, star anise, cinnamon and the sliced leafy stems of celery, reserve the celery leaves for a garnish. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in both soy sauces and leave to simmer for 30 seconds, then stir in the oyster sauce and ground pepper.
  • Add 100ml/3½fl oz cold water, followed by the chicken stock concentrate and the ketjap manis (or the mixture of dark soy sauce with soft brown sugar), stir until everything's well combined and bring to the boil.
  • Add the king prawns, immersing them in the liquid. Simmer until the prawns are cooked through. Finally, add the drained noodles and stir well - I find a couple of pasta forks, one in each hand, best for this - so that everything is combined, and most of the dark liquid is absorbed. Add the pinches of ground cinnamon and cloves, stir again, and if you're not serving straight from the wok, pour into a serving bowl, and sprinkle with the reserved chopped celery leaves.

THAI NOODLES WITH CINNAMON AND PRAWNS



Thai Noodles with Cinnamon and Prawns image

I have been alive a long time and, at least when it comes to eating, have spent that time wisely and well. So, it's not often that I eat something that tastes so different to anything I've come across before. But this is such a dish. A gorgeous and mesmerically talented chef called, so perfectly, Tum, cooked it when I was on holiday in Thailand last year, and I made him cook it again and again, and then finally asked him if I could video his making it, so I could try and recreate it at home. I was apprehensive about doing so, not least because I was frightened of facing up to my inadequate camera work and the lesser ingredients found at home. And yet, even with frozen prawns, the substitution of regular celery for the Chinese celery (which is all leaf, no stalk to speak of, and stronger-tasting) and a less-experienced hand at the wok, the very first mouthful brought back the magical enchantment of its taste in Thailand. You do need to buy leafy celery, and even though the stalks don't get a look-in, you chop the slender stems to which the leaves are attached and add them to the wok along with the other flavorings at the very beginning. Apart from having to make geographically enforced changes, I have stuck to Tum's recipe, including the ready-ground pepper and chicken stock concentrate (actually, he used chicken powder). I just had to share this spectacularly unfamiliar but compelling recipe with you. I hope you will be as bowled over by it as I was.

Tips:

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili paste or red curry paste to your preferred spice level. This recipe provides a moderate level of heat, but you can easily increase or decrease it to suit your taste.
  • If you can't find Thai rice noodles, you can substitute them with other types of noodles such as ramen noodles or spaghetti. However, Thai rice noodles have a unique texture and flavor that best complements this dish.
  • Be sure to use a large enough pan or wok when stir-frying the noodles and vegetables. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure that the ingredients cook evenly.
  • Serve the dish immediately after cooking to enjoy the best flavors and textures.
