Ingredients

• 450 grams prawns
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 150 grams snow peas
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 120 ml chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 whole lime
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and deveining the prawns if required, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Slice the red bell pepper and carrots into thin strips, cut the broccoli florets into small pieces, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

Step 3

Slice the green onions into thin rounds, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the chicken or vegetable broth with the fish sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cornstarch is well dissolved and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sunflower oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set them aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to avoid burning. After about 30 seconds, add the sliced carrots and broccoli florets.

Step 8

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 minutes, then add the red bell pepper and snow peas. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, approximately another 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Give the prepared sauce another stir and pour it over the vegetables. Toss everything together and let the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Add the cooked prawns back into the pan along with the sesame oil. Toss well to coat the prawns and vegetables evenly with the sauce.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat, and add the green onions and a squeeze of lime juice. Give the stir fry a final toss.

Step 12

Serve the stir fry hot, garnished with additional green onions or lime wedges if desired.
