Instructions
- For the Fresh Sambal Sauce: Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend until it's all coarsely chopped. Store in a clean and tightly covered container or jar in the refrigerator up to two weeks. Cook the noodles as directed on the pack, drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, mix the sweet soy sauce, fresh sambal sauce and ginger in small bowl and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large wok or frying pan on medium-high heat. Add half of the shallots and half the Minced Garlic and cook and stir 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the prawns, cook and stir for three minutes, or until prawns turn pink. Remove prawns from the wok.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same wok. Add the remaining shallots and Minced Garlic and cook and stir for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the broccoli, mushrooms and spring onions and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Add the noodles, prawns and sweet soy sauce mixture and toss to mix all the ingredients together.
- Spoon the noodle mixture into serving bowls. Top with the cashews and additional Sambal Sauce, if desired. Squeeze with the lime wedge before serving.
- Cooking Tip This recipe uses a fresh home made version of Sambal, but you can also use shop bought jar from your local Asian market.
