Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil water for the noodles (they are not cooked, they are only allowed to hydrate for the minutes specified on the bag).

  2. 2

    Cut the onion into thin strips just like the zucchini and put them with a little bit of EVOO in a pan over medium heat.

  3. 3

    When the vegetables start to brown, add the peeled prawns (I used frozen) and turn up the heat.

  4. 4

    If the water is already boiling, turn off the heat and add the noodles to hydrate.

  5. 5

    Add sesame seeds to the pan with the vegetables and prawns and lower the heat.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, we prepare the soy sauce, a little bit of EVOO and the peanut butter (on a personal level I add a splash of lemon but it's to taste), stir well until it is integrated and set aside.

  7. 7

    When the noodles are already hydrated, it is important to drain and rinse them before passing them to the pan with the vegetables and prawns.

  8. 8

    Stir everything, add the sauce we had reserved and raise the heat for 2 minutes without stopping moving it.

  9. 9

    Done, serve and eat on the spot!
