By: Susan Joy

This delicious curried prawn recipe uses shredded green cabbage as noodles. I have included a variety of vegetables but the crunch from the water chestnuts makes it even yummier and just that little bit different.

Heat an extra large frying pan on high and add half the coconut oil. Add the prawns and 1 teaspoon each of garlic and ginger, and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Stir gently while the prawns cook for approx. 4 minutes, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

Turn the heat down to medium and add the remaining oil, spring onions, carrots, broccoli, remaining teaspoon of garlic and ginger, 1½ tablespoons curry powder, cumin and ground coriander. Cook stirring for approx. 3 – 4 minutes.

Add the chicken broth, cabbage, mushrooms, peas and water chestnuts, stir and cook until the cabbage is just starting to soften.

Add the coconut cream, spinach, coriander leaves and salt, stir through and heat until the coconut cream bubbles and spinach starts to wilt.

Return the prawns to the pan and mix through to heat.

Serve in individual bowls sprinkled with chopped coriander leaves and spring onions.
