Khwanjai’s Top Tips:
Blooming marvellous this is, and so easy and a delicious, healthy snack meal that’s quick to make!

We have a selection or Prawn recipes, which are all located within the Thai Seafood section.

The curry paste which is a powder: Make sure you get a Thai one, the Indian or Chinese versions are nothing like the same = not suitable alternatives!

Nice medium hot wok and constant heat all the way through the cooking

Stick to the timings and use the freshest Prawns you can get

The weight of prawns given in the recipe is for whole Tiger Prawns

If you want to spice this one up you can add 2-3 Thai chillies (sliced) at the same time as the garlic, that’s all you’ll need, any more will spoil the balance of flavours.

Did I mention it’s delicious!

We mention some soups in the video using Thai names only sorry. Here they are with English Names;
Tom Kha Gai = Coconut Chicken Soup
Tom Yum Goong = Spicy Sour Prawn Soup
