3 tbsp light or dark soy sounds a lot to me. I would add one tbsp at a time till you got the right taste. Watch out for the chilli bean paste especially those made in China they are very salty and spicy.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sunflower. I will go easy on the soy.
The chile sauce doesn´t worry me. I´m one of those crazy people who will actually take a bite of a habanero to see if it´s hot enough :shock: 8-) and I make loads of Indian achars (pickles) which are always salty. I think it might have something to do with living in the tropics.

Unless you have a really large wok and a good wok burner I’d be inclined to let the prawns cook a minute before adding the greens, 450g raw prawns and 3 heads of pak choi will cool things down too much

At least she gives instructions for cooking the noodles - my Thai cookbook says to follow the package instructions which say to follow the recipe
