Method

1. Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the garlic and prawns and stir-fry for two minutes, then remove and set aside.

2. Add the eggs and spread out around the wok to form an omelette shape. Once cooked through, break up the egg into chunks, then set aside with the prawns and garlic.

3. Add the shrimp paste, nuts and chilli and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

4. Add the noodles, bean sprouts, sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce and stir-fry just long enough to warm everything through.

5. Return the egg and prawns to the wok and stir to combine.

6. To serve, evenly divide the pad Thai among four bowls. Sprinkle with coriander and a squeeze of lime.
