King Prawn & Pepper Chow Mein

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Boil a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Deseed the pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon), then chop roughly

Once the pan is hot, add the chopped pepper and cook for 3-4 min or until the pepper is beginning to soften

Meanwhile, add the medium egg noodles to a pot and cover with boiled water until fully submerged

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-6 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Once done, drain and set aside

Once the pepper is beginning to soften, drain the king prawns, then add them to the pan with the mangetout and cook for 3-4 min further

Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and toasted sesame oil to the pan and cook for 1 min further or until the prawns are cooked through

Note: Please make sure you cook your prawns thoroughly (until piping hot!) as cooking equipment varies

Add the drained noodles and give everything a good mix up – this is your king prawn & pepper chow mein
