Steps:
- In a blender, puree spinach with water still clinging to leaves, adding more water from bowl, if necessary. Transfer puree to a large glass measuring cup; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
- Puree will separate overnight; pour off reserved liquid, and discard.
- Combine in a medium bowl shrimp, spinach puree, egg white, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix until well incorporated.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fit a large bowl with a strainer; set aside. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup oil, and swirl to coat wok. When oil is very hot, add shrimp; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add peppers, carrots, water chestnuts, and mushrooms; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Drain in prepared strainer; set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir to combine potato starch and 2 tablespoons water; set aside. Heat wok again over medium-high heat; add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and swirl to coat. Add garlic, scallions, ginger, and chile. Stir-fry until fragrant. Stir in potato starch mixture, chicken stock, rice wine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add drained shrimp mixture and cashews; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Drizzle with sesame oil.
- Meanwhile, add salt and noodles to boiling water. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Drain, and transfer to a platter. Top with shrimp mixture; serve immediately.

THAI NOODLES WITH CINNAMON AND PRAWNS
I have been alive a long time and, at least when it comes to eating, have spent that time wisely and well. So, it's not often that I eat something that tastes so different to anything I've come across before. But this is such a dish. A gorgeous and mesmerically talented chef called, so perfectly, Tum, cooked it when I was on holiday in Thailand last year, and I made him cook it again and again, and then finally asked him if I could video his making it, so I could try and recreate it at home. I was apprehensive about doing so, not least because I was frightened of facing up to my inadequate camera work and the lesser ingredients found at home. And yet, even with frozen prawns, the substitution of regular celery for the Chinese celery (which is all leaf, no stalk to speak of, and stronger-tasting) and a less-experienced hand at the wok, the very first mouthful brought back the magical enchantment of its taste in Thailand. You do need to buy leafy celery, and even though the stalks don't get a look-in, you chop the slender stems to which the leaves are attached and add them to the wok along with the other flavorings at the very beginning. Apart from having to make geographically enforced changes, I have stuck to Tum's recipe, including the ready-ground pepper and chicken stock concentrate (actually, he used chicken powder). I just had to share this spectacularly unfamiliar but compelling recipe with you. I hope you will be as bowled over by it as I was.

Steps:
- On a high heat, heat the oil in a large wok. Add the garlic, ginger, star anise, cinnamon and the sliced stems of celery (reserve the leaves), and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Stir in both soy sauces and leave to simmer for 30 seconds, then stir in the oyster sauce and ground pepper.
- Add the water, followed by the chicken stock concentrate and the ketjap manis (or the mixture of dark soy sauce with soft brown sugar), stir until everything's well combined and bring to the boil.
- Now add the king prawns, immersing them in the liquid. Simmer until the prawns are cooked through.
- Finally, add the drained noodles and stir well--I find a couple of pasta forks, one in each hand, best for this--so that everything is combined, and most of the dark liquid is absorbed.
- Add the pinches of ground cinnamon and cloves, stir again, and if you're not serving straight from the wok, decant into a serving bowl, and sprinkle with the reserved chopped celery leaves.

Steps:
- Prepare vegetables, of your own choice, i.e. bok choy, bean sprouts, capsicum, onion, broccoli, asparagus, Chinese leaf, and baby corn--a mixture is great.
- Blanche asparagus and broccoli for two minutes before adding to the other vegetables. Add the chili, crushed; place to one side.
- In a cup, place the stock, adding the Soya sauce (a mixture of light and rich is nice) add the sherry, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Mix the corn flour with enough water to be able to add to the stock.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli and coriander stalks and fry with a pinch of salt until softened, about 3 mins. Add the greens and most of the coriander leaves, stir until wilted, then tip the contents of the pan into a blender with the coconut milk and 150-200ml water. Blitz until smooth and bright green. Or, if you have a stick blender, use it to blitz all the ingredients in the pan.
- Tip the sauce back into the pan, season and bring to the boil. Add the prawns, noodles and the lime juice and cook for 4-6 mins until the prawns have turned pink - by this time the noodles should be perfect. Ladle into two bowls and top with the remaining coriander.

Tips:
- Use fresh, large prawns: The size of the prawns will affect the cooking time, so make sure to use large prawns that are about the same size.
- Clean the prawns properly: Remove the heads, shells, and tails of the prawns. Make sure to devein the prawns to remove the black vein that runs along the back.
- Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger will help to add flavor and tenderize the prawns.
- Cook the prawns quickly: Prawns cook very quickly, so it is important to not overcook them. Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality Chinese noodle: The type of Chinese noodle you use will affect the texture of the dish. I recommend using a thick, chewy noodle, such as udon or ramen noodles.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions: Be sure to cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Drain the noodles well: After cooking the noodles, drain them well in a colander. This will help to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
- Stir-fry the noodles: Stir-fry the noodles in a hot wok or skillet with a little bit of oil. This will help to brown the noodles and give them a slightly crispy texture.
- Add the prawns and vegetables: Add the prawns and vegetables to the wok or skillet and stir-fry until the prawns are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Season the dish: Season the dish with soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes, to taste.
Conclusion:
Green prawns with Chinese noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The prawns are tender and flavorful, and the noodles are chewy and satisfying. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
