  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, roughly chopped
  • 2 red chillies, chopped
  • 1 stalk of lemongrass, peeled and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 handful of coriander, chopped
  • A splash of veg oil
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds

  • 250ml veg stock
  • 2 handfuls of rice noodles
  • 1 x 400ml can of coconut milk
  • 6-8 peeled tiger prawns
  • 1⁄2 tsp Thai fish sauce
  • Put the ginger, garlic, chilli, lemongrass and coriander in a food processor with a splash of veg oil, and blitz to make a paste. Add the paste to a large pan, and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the coriander seeds (crushed), along with the turmeric and veg stock. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
