Firecracker prawn noodle bowl

This is the perfect recipe to make you forget about the gloomy UK weather.  Our Firecracker Paste, along with coconut milk, creates a warm, spicy curried broth - creamy, garlicky and absolutely delicious!

I love prawns and think they sing in this recipe, but you could easily use chicken, pork or tofu instead.
