Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A quick bowl of udon and king prawns in a green curry coconut broth with stir-fry vegetables, topped with herbs and chilli.
This is the sort of supper you can have on the table in roughly 20 minutes and still feel pleased with. Prawns, vegetables and thick udon noodles sit in a green curry and coconut broth that tastes far more involved than the effort suggests. Fresh coriander, basil, chilli and spring onion go over the top at the end, and that final scatter is what makes it feel finished rather than fast.

Preparation
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook the curry paste for 1 minute, then add the stir-fry veg and prawns. Cook for 3 minutes, until the prawns are mostly pink, then pour in the coconut milk, vegetable stock and noodles.
- Bring it up to the boil, drop to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until the noodles are done and the veg still has some bite. Share between two bowls and finish with the herbs, chilli and spring onion.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Give the curry paste a moment in the hot oil before anything else goes in; it draws out the flavour properly.
- Prawns only need to turn pink, so pull them back the second they do or they toughen.
- Keep the vegetables tender-crisp rather than soft for the best texture.
- Be generous with the herbs and chilli at the end, as they carry the freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chicken, tofu or a firm white fish all suit this broth. Just adjust the timing so whatever you choose is cooked through but not overdone.
Udon make it satisfyingly slurpy, but rice noodles or egg noodles do the job too. Follow the packet timing in each case.
Use less paste, or reach for a milder one. The coconut milk already takes the edge off, so a small change goes a long way.
