Instructions

  • Peel and finely chop the ginger, slice the onion, crush the garlic and cut the broccoli into small florets. Trim the green beans.
  • Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a skillet or a wok over a medium high heat. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
  • Add the green beans, broccoli and prawns. Stir well. Cook for 3 minutes if the prawns are already cooked, or for about 5 minutes if they are raw, until they turn pink.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the tamari, sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, cornflour and water in a small bowl.
  • Add the sauce to the skillet with the prawns and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until it thickens and coats everything. Serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Cool quickly, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat once, in a pot or pan over a low heat or in the microwave, until piping hot. If you used cooked prawns in the first meal, do not reheat the leftovers.
To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: Serve over noodles, brown rice, white rice, or cauliflower rice. You could also dish it up in a lettuce wrap.
Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes, mix sriracha and chilli flakes into your prawn stir fry sauce.
Tip 3: You can substitute beef, pork, chicken or tofu into this recipe.
