Notes

Tip
I use rice vermicelli noodles because they are gluten-free, but they do have an annoying habit of clinging together unless you persist with gently mixing.
Tip
If your kids love prawns, then by all means double or triple the recipe to suit the whole family.
Variation
Substitute with your favourite noodles, such as hokkien or soba.
Variation
This recipe works just as well with a milder curry paste such as korma or satay.
