Updated post.
We love a stir-fry in this house, how could we not? Quick and easy to rustle up, bursting with colour, flavour and punch: stir-frys, we salute you!
My eldest son, Oliver isn’t a chilli fan so we make a separate batch for him, but my youngest Alexander loves a bit of kick to his food and gobbles it up, chilli and all! I do use less soy sauce when making it for them too so, just adding a dash at the end for serving so the salt content isn’t high.
We ease off the wheat most of the time here so love the light rice noodles make an ideal base or I’ll often enjoy a stir fry with a big bowl of stir-fried veg if I’m not that hungry!
Filling and flavoursome, stir-fry’s are fabulous all year round.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp mild olive oil/ sunflower oil
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 courgette, sliced
- 1 red chilli, chopped
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 small piece fresh ginger, peeled, grated or finely chopped
- 150g/3½ oz raw king prawns (grey), heads and shells removed, de-veined
- 250g/9 oz rice noodles
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar, or mirin
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
To serve:
- fresh coriander, chopped
- Handful of toasted sesame seeds
- Dash of soya sauce and sesame oil to taste
Method:
Heat the oil in a wok on a high heat. Add the garlic, onion, ginger, chilli, spring onions and courgettes. Fry until golden brown then add the prawns.
In another pan, boil the rice noodles for 1-2 minutes until soft. Drain and leave covered to keep warm.
In a bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce and mirin. Pour over the prawns and vegetables, covering then and fry for 2 minutes.
Place the noodles into a bowl and cover with the prawn mixture.
Sprinkle the coriander and sesame seeds and add more soya sauce and sesame oil to taste.
Enjoy.
I love that it has a lot of veggies! Definitely a recipe I should definitely try. Great post!
This looks delicious and healthy!
Those are some great looking recipes that I could eat without the shrimp.
That looks wonderful xx

I’m such a fan of quick meals at the moment – eating once Baby H is in bed has it’s disadvantages. But this is quick and yummy, so win win 🙂

I love prawn dishes – did one myself for this link up. This dish looks really nice and I’m with you – I like a bit of a kick to my food!
Rachael A recently posted…Healthy Weekday Meal #12………Coconut Salmon Zoodles
Absolutely, I’m a bit obsessed with chilli!
YUM! looks delicious. I would need to find a substitute for the soy sauce as my 9 month eats with us now and I have to watch the salt levels. Any ideas? Thanks for hosting 🙂
Oh yes, you must, I actually don’t put as much in when making it for the kids (should add that in the recipe), I would omit if your baby is 9 months, sure he would like it without. If he can eat sesame oil, add that with a little boiling water.
Thank you!
🙂
Oh my goodness those prawns look so juicy and delicious! Love a good stir fry, so healthy and it actually fills you up! All of your five a day in one meal too! x

Wow! That looks delicious! I do love a good stir fry, especially with king prawns, yum!

Thanks Hannah, delicious huh!
I love prawns but we don’t have them very much as Jon’s not a fan. I guess the beauty of stir fry is that it’s best made in smaller batches, so maybe I’ll make prawn for me and chicken for him.
