Spicy Red Curry Coconut Udon Noodles With Shredded Chicken and Prawns

Udon knows how good this dish was, people… 😜..  soooo scrumptious.  It was one of that last-minute throw-together dinner that didn’t take much time to prepare and was so perfectly satisfying.  The broth is spicy, creamy, and coconut with Thai flavours of lemongrass, ginger, red curry, lime, and coriander.  

Both prawns and chicken may have been on the extravagant side, but I had both that needed using up in the fridge because we ate out for one of my planned meals…   Honestly though… I could happily slurp up this entire bowl without any chicken or prawns, and it would be just as scrummy.

I always keep a stash of Yukata premium frozen udon noodles @yutakaeats in my freezer available at @ocadouk…they are so quick to prepare and just come to the rescue when I’m craving quick comfort food, but you could use any noodles you fancy.

I added Linghams extra hot chilli sauce to my bowl, which just worked beautifully… Have you ever tried this Malaysian chilli sauce??  I so have missed out in my lifetime!!
