How to Make Sesame Ginger Broccoli Prawn Stir Fry

1. Place a pot of water on a high heat. Once the water is boiling place the tender stem broccoli into the water for 2 minutes. Strain using a colander and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, add and mix the sesame oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. Set aside. Remove any excess water on the prawns by patting them with a kitchen paper towel then season with black pepper, garlic granules and onion granules.

3. Add the sunflower oil to a frying pan and place on a medium to high heat. Once the oil is sizzling, add the prawns to the pan and cook for 3 - 4 turning frequently. Remove from the frying pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. To the same pan, add the onions, ginger and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the red bell peppers, tender stem broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour on the mixed sesame oil, lemon juice and soy sauce and then add the prawns back to the pan. Stir everything together and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Though I use tender steam broccoli, you can also use normal broccoli if preferred.
• I use sunflower oil to cook the prawns and vegetables but you can use any oil of choice.
• If you don’t have any ginger, you can use ground ginger but the flavours will not be as strong.
• In some countries, king prawns as they are known in the UK are also known as shrimp.
