Instructions

  • Firstly, slice the onion, garlic, ginger and broccoli.
  • Now heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a skillet or a wok over medium-high heat. Add the onions, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes.
  • When your veggies are fragrant, add beans, broccoli and prawns. Stir well and cook, stirring for 3 minutes (if the prawns are precooked, if raw cook for 5 minutes until turned pink).
  • In the meantime, prepare the sauce; whisk together soy sauce or tamari, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, and water in a small bowl.
  • Add the sauce to the skillet with the prawns and cook until the sauce thickens, but not too thick. It usually takes around 1-2 minutes.

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.
To Freeze: I don't 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.
