Prawn & Vegetable Stir-Fry In Hot Chilli Sauce On Brown Rice

 

 

A prawn curry which packs some punch!

This spicy dish is guaranteed to raise temperatures as it’s HOT HOT HOT!

The love family loves oriental flavours and stir fries are my go-to mid-week style of dinners (I just eat with veggies or tofu myself).

My homemade hot chilli sauce is simple to make too and I usually create a big batch and store it in the fridge to use over 2-3 weeks. I do like my food extra spicy, so feel free to adjust the number of chillies to suit your own palette. I omit the sauce for the kids and they like to add soy sauce to this.
