Quick Fried Noodles, Prawns, Mussels and Spring Onion


Currently watching River Cottage Three Go Mad, where 3 actors join the River Cottage team for a few days  to live off the land! Fab.  But I have very quickly popped Hugh on pause and took some time to post this recipe.
These noodles were super quick, fresh and tasty - even if I do say so myself!  Based on a recipe by Tony Tobins from the BBC Food Website, Fried Noodles, Prawns and Char-grilled Spring Onions, I made a few changes as below.


Time to prepare and cook: 30 minutes
Cost of ingredients approx: £6.50
Changes to recipe:  I didnt chargrill the spring onions, I added in some mussels and popped onto some fab asparagus!
Tricky bits:  None!
The full recipe is after the break......serves 2
