"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Whisk the peanut butter, chilli and garlic sauce, tamarind past and both soy sauces together to create a marinade. Add 4 tbspn water to loosen. Run a sharp knife along the back of each prawn then toss into the marinade.

Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Reserve 100ml of the cooking water, drain the noodles, then return them and the water to the pan. Separate with a fork.

Heat a wok or large frying pan over a hight head and add the oil. Stir fry the white parts of the spring onion for 30 seconds then add the cabbage and carrots. Once tender, push to the side of the pan.

Lift the prawns from the marinade using a slotted spoon then add to the pan. Turn them to seal on both sides, until cooked through and slightly golden. Add in the remaining marinade and fry everything until it starts to boil then toss in the noodles with their water. Mix everything well and cook until piping hot, dotting the sesame oil around the edges of the pan.

Serve scattered with the green parts of the spring onions and the red chilli.
