- Heat a large pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns and sauté for 4–5 minutes, just until they start turning pink and are almost cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil if needed. Sauté the 1 red onion for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant, then add in the sliced 3 bell peppers. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Pour in the 1 can coconut milk, then rinse the can with about ¼ cup water and add that in as well for a little more sauce. Drop in the ½ pack Japanese Curry Cubes and optional chili flakes , stir until they dissolve completely. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce is thick, creamy, and flavorful.
- Return the prawns to the pot and let them simmer for 2–3 more minutes to finish cooking and soak up the curry.
- Spoon the curry over fluffy rice or pour over noodles. Garnish with Fresh cilantro or green onions if you’d like.
