And here’s how to make it:
- Whisk the peanut butter, oyster sauce, sriracha soy sauce and 6 tablespoons of water together until smooth.
- Cook the noodles for 4-5 minutes or until al dente in a pan of boiling water. Drain and set to one side.
- Meanwhile, heat the wok until smoking and add the oil. Throw in the prawns and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until just cooked. Add the pak choi and continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Put the noodles and sauce into the wok. Add a few tablespoons of water and stir-fry for a minute or so until everything is completely coated.
