Method
- Toast sesame seeds under griller (be careful as they can burn quickly). When toasted leave to one side.
- Peel carrots then cut in half length ways then slice at an angle. Cut snow peas in half on an angle. Slice shallots. Cut broccoli into small florets.
- Butterfly the green prawns (this makes the prawn more tender) using a sharp knife run the blade down the back of the prawns being careful not to cut all the way through, scrape out the vein. Rinse prawns.
- Sauté garlic and ginger in a wok or non-stick frypan that has been generously coated with cooking spray for 30 seconds, add prawns and cook 2 to 4 minutes (depending on size) until just cooked. Remove prawns from wok, leave to one side.
- Using the same wok/pan add ¼ cup of water, carrots and broccoli, cook 2 minutes then add shallots and snow peas cook for 2 minutes.
- Combine cornflour with remaining water then add to wok/pan with stock powder and soy sauce.
- Add in the honey, sesame seeds and prawns, combine well.
Variation: Replace prawns with either 500g butterfly pork steaks or skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips.
Suitable to be frozen.
