- With apologies to the late Colonel!
- Soak the noodles in very warm water, then drain and keep moist. Weight the tofu and when mostly dry, cut into 1 inch by 2 inch pcs. Shred carrot, bamboo shoots, spring onions, gai lan(or possibly spinach) and set aside. Prepare peppers. Mix the curry paste, fish sauce, peanut butter and 1/4 c. of chicken stock, and then add in the peppers to this. Set the shredded basil leaves to one side, and make sure you have everything ready to go, because you must fly with this, when the wok is ready, so heat the wok on high, and when a drop of water sizzles, go for it! Put the oil in the warm wok, throw in the prawns, stir fry till just pink, and remove them. Add in the curry paste mix and stir fry this for no longer than a minute, then throw in the vegetables, and then the tofu...stir fry this carefully, maintaining high heat, put the reserved prawns back in, check for liquidity, and add in the rest of the stock, if needed, and the reserved noodles. Carefully mix all together, and serve with Thai rice, placing the basil shreds over the dish. This looks complicated but it really isnt, once you get everything together. Preparing takes most of the time....should serve two with left overs(maybe)
