Shame I haven't got any :-(

400ml/14fl oz coconut milk

3 tbsp fish sauce

8 tiger or king prawns, shelled, de-veined

100g/3½oz soba noodles

1-2 limes, juice only, plus more to serve

salt and freshly ground black pepper

small handful thai basil leaves

Preparation method

For the paste, blend the paste ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

For the soup, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the paste over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the coconut milk and fish sauce.

Pour in the boiling water, and crumble in the stock cube.

Add the prawns, and allow them to cook in the broth for 3-4 minutes, or until the prawns have turned pink and opaque.

Add the mushrooms and sugar snap peas, and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

Cook the soba noodles in a large pan of boiling water following pack instructions, then drain.

To serve, add the lime juice to the soup and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Divide the drained noodles between four bowls, and ladle over the soup. Garnish with thai basil leaves, shiso cress, the coriander leaves, and sliced chilli.

Squeeze over a little more lime juice to taste.


Then sit myself down to babestation, pants round my ankles, supping my soup from a pint glass with a straw. Bliss

the fuck is this?

Open fridge a la Zelda chest, eat items.

Cheese. Biscuits. Some tomatos. A bit of cumcumber. Salad Cream. Pickled onions. Sorted.

I shudder to think what a cumcumber is.
Cheese gives you nightmares,pickled onions give you indigestion,and salad cream is a complete obscenity and pastiche of bad mayonnaise that should be made illegal.
Best stick to the biscuits.
