By Siba Mtongana

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 T olive oil
1 T cayenne pepper
4 T home-made red curry paste
500 ml good-quality fish or chicken stock
250 ml coconut cream
4 t fish sauce
4 t oyster sauce
Sesame oil a few drops (optional)
300 g ready-to-eat prawns
80 g ready-to-eat calamari strips
400 g cooked angel hair pasta or yellow noodles, for serving
Fresh coriander a handful, to garnish

Method

Heat the oil in a nonstick saucepan, add the cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and stir. Pour in the stock and coconut cream and bring to the boil. Add the fish and oyster sauces and sesame oil if using. Add the prawns and calamari and cook for 1 minute so they absorb the flavours of the broth.

Divide the noodles between soup bowls, ladle over the broth, prawns and calamari and garnish with coriander. Serve warm.
