      Preparation notes

      Prepare and measure every ingredient before cooking. Thai recipes often move quickly once heat is applied.

      Method

      1. 1

        Build the aromatic base

        Place ginger, garlic and coriander root in the pot.

      2. 2

        Season the noodles

        Mix noodles with soy sauces, oyster sauce, sugar, stock and pepper.

      3. 3

        Layer the prawns

        Arrange prawns over the noodles and cover tightly.

      4. 4

        Cook gently

        Bake or simmer until noodles absorb the sauce and prawns are just cooked.

      5. 5

        Finish

        Fold through celery and serve immediately.

      What it tastes like

      Savoury, peppery and aromatic with sweet prawn juices absorbed by the noodles.

      Make it milder

      Reduce fresh chillies and chilli paste, remove chilli seeds, and serve extra chilli separately.

      Ingredient substitutions

      Use locally available equivalents while keeping the balance of salty, sweet, sour, spicy and aromatic flavours.

      Vegetarian alternative

      Where suitable, replace meat or seafood with firm tofu, mushrooms or mixed vegetables and use vegetarian sauces and stock.

      Common mistakes

      Avoid overcrowding the pan, rushing aromatic stages, or failing to taste and balance the final seasoning before serving.

      Serving the dish

      Serve hot or at room temperature with the traditional accompaniment noted in the recipe.

      Garnishes

      Add the listed fresh herbs, lime, chilli, crispy aromatics or toasted toppings immediately before serving.
