Step 1

Trim and halve the green beans. Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways. Zest the whole lime, then juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.

Step 2

2 Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry for 3-4 mins. Next, add the prawns. Cook, stirring frequently, 2-3 mins. If you’d like to, season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.

Step 3

3 Pour the red Thai style paste, coconut milk and water (see pantry) into the prawn pan. Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to medium, and add the pak choi. Simmer until the prawns and cooked, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the centre.

Step 4

4 Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins, then drain in a colander. Return to the pan with a splash of oil and toss to prevent sticking.

Step 5

5 Remove your laksa from the heat. Stir in the cooked noodles, lime zest and juice and sambal and combine well. If you’d like to, season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

6 Ladle the king prawn laksa into deep bowls. Sprinkle over the black sesame seeds and serve with a lime wedge.
