This spicy seafood massaman noodle bowl is my go to when I want something impressive but don't have much time. The beauty of using a quality curry paste is that you skip all the fiddly spice grinding and get restaurant quality flavour in under thirty five minutes total. I love how the pak choi adds a wonderful boost of vitamins and antioxidants while staying super crisp, and the combination of prawns and seafood sticks gives you that wonderful ocean richness without breaking the bank. It's comfort food that feels a bit fancy, and honestly, it comes together so easily that I find myself making it at least twice a month.
