Description
A sticky, sweet and fruity fakeaway stir-fry that’s on the table in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- Spray oil
- 1 red onion, very finely chopped
- 165g (5¾oz) raw, peeled king prawns
- 1 ripe mango, chopped into chunks (see notes for how to prep a mango)
- 100g (3½oz) sugarsnap peas, topped and tailed
To serve:
- Basil leaves, torn
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Jasmine rice or fine noodles
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the crushed garlic, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and lime juice. Set aside.
- Spray a frying pan or sauté pan with oil and place over a medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the sauce from the bowl.
- Add the king prawns and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they have turned pink all the way through.
- Add the chopped mango and sugarsnap peas and stir-fry over a high heat for a further 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, tearing basil leaves over the top and finishing with a few grinds of black pepper. Serve with jasmine rice or noodles.
Notes
- How to chop a mango: Stand the mango on its end with the stem facing up. Slice down either side of the flat stone to remove the two cheeks. Score a cross-hatch pattern through the flesh of each cheek, cutting down to (but not through) the skin. Push the skin inside out to reveal the mango chunks, then slice them off with a knife or spoon.
- Frozen mango: Works well if you can’t find a ripe fresh mango. No need to defrost — just add it straight to the pan and it will cook through quickly.
- Frozen prawns: Defrost fully and pat dry before using. Excess moisture will dilute the sauce.
- GLP-1 tip: If you’re eating smaller portions on a GLP-1 medication, try serving this over a small portion of cauliflower rice rather than jasmine rice – it keeps the meal light and the protein content still makes it really satisfying.
- Slimming World: Around 0.5 syns per serving (from the sweet chilli sauce). All other ingredients are free.
