Method
Quick and flavorful prawn stir-fry with crunchy veggies, fresh ginger, and a zesty homemade marinade—perfect with noodles or on its own!
- Place all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix together well. Then throw in the prawns/shrimp making sure they are fully coated with the marinade. Leave to the side.
- To begin making the stir fry, heat a tbsp of oil in a wok on a high heat, then add the ginger and spring onions, frying them for about 1 minute. Next, add the chopped pepper and fry for another minute until they soften.
- Add the water chestnuts, pak choi, beansprouts, cashews and garlic. Toss in the wok until the beansprouts and pak choi soften and wilt. Then, add the soy sauce and a dash more pepper for an extra kick.
- Tip the wok contents into a dish and put any remaining oil back on the heat, topping up with the other tablespoon of oil if necessary. Add the prawns/shrimp to the wok, without the marinade, and toss for 2 minutes until pink. Pour the marinade on top of the prawns/shrimp and continue to toss briefly.
- Tip the cooked, marinated prawns onto the stir-fried vegetables and, if you'd like, serve up with noodles. Delicious!
