1 kg tiger prawns

1 package of egg noodles

2 cups sliced yellow onions

2 cups sliced carrots

3 cups cremini mushrooms

3 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp hoisin sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp chilli paste

1 tsp sriracha

2 tsp salt

2 tsp white pepper (regular is fine)

2 tbsp paprika

2 tsp onion powder

1 ½ tbsp cumin

2 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp ginger powder

Heat your olive oil in your wok over medium-high heat. Add in all the veggies. After cooking until the onions and mushrooms are caramelized and you see a golden colour in the onions, add in the minced garlic. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for a few more minutes until fragrant.

Add in your tiger prawns, spices and the sesame oil. Mix together and allow the prawns to cook with the rest of the veggies for 4-5 minutes, turning the prawns halfway.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and add in your cooked noodles and the sauces and chilli paste. If you don’t have chilli paste, you can leave it out and add more sriracha if you want. Mix it together well. This part can be hard, as the prawns typically stay at the bottom whenever I make this dish.

Cover and allow it to cook for 5 minutes on low heat. Add in the green onions, mix and it’s done! If it’s too spicy for some of you, add a little more sesame oil, soy sauce and hoisin sauce. This will balance out the flavour for those who can't eat spicy foods - like me, sometimes! Enjoy!
