Method

  1. Fry the paste in a dry pan over a medium heat for a minute, until it smells toasted and darkens slightly.

  2. Add a third of the coconut milk and let it bubble for two minutes until it thickens, then add the rest with the sugar and fish sauce.

  3. Add the beans and baby corn and simmer gently for four minutes.

  4. Add the prawns and cook for three minutes until they are pink through. Off the heat, add the lime and basil.

  5. Soften the noodles as the packet says, drain, and ladle the curry over them.

Worth knowing

  • Reduced-fat coconut milk is 73 kcal per 100 g against 170 for full fat. Over 200 g that is the difference of a whole extra portion of noodles. It splits more readily, so keep the simmer gentle once it is in.
  • Shop pastes contain shrimp, so the dish carries crustaceans before the prawns go in.
