Ingredients
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 heaped tbsp Thai green curry paste
220g stir-fry vegetable mix
150g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
180ml light coconut milk
220ml vegetable stock made with 1 low-salt stock cube
250g straight-to-wok udon noodles
5g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
5g Thai basil, roughly torn
1 red chilli, thinly sliced, for serving (optional)
1 spring onion, thinly sliced, for serving
Directions
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the Thai green curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to bloom and the paste to become fragrant.
Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and raw prawns to the pan. Stir well to combine with the curry paste, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are mostly pink and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F.
Pour in the light coconut milk and vegetable stock. Add the udon noodles, breaking them apart gently if needed, and stir to distribute evenly throughout the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through and the vegetables are soft but still retain some texture.
Divide the soup between two bowls. Garnish each bowl with fresh coriander and Thai basil. Top with sliced red chilli if desired and scatter the sliced spring onion over the top before serving.
Comments
Thai basil and reliable access to quality prawns are the real constraints here: Thai basil means a special trip to an Asian market or high-end Harris Teeter location in Charlotte, and good prawns—not the previously frozen generic kind—require a stop at a dedicated fishmonger or a Whole Foods-adjacent counter rather than a typical chain stock. The 20-minute timeline is honest for cooking once you have everything on hand, but the ingredient hunt adds real weeknight friction. Cost per serving runs $6–$8 depending on prawn quality, which is fair for a restaurant-style soup but not budget-friendly. This is a satisfying, reheatable soup that works well for two and delivers real depth of flavor once you've assembled it, but the prep legwork makes it better suited to a planned weeknight or weekend than a last-minute dinner.
