Ignoring the burnt ribs to the side of them, these prawns were really quick to make and very tasty. Could really taste the orange so if you don't like that maybe half the juice.
Ingredients
2 tsp sesame oil
1 orange , zested and juiced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
3 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Generous pinch of Chinese five-spice
300g raw king prawns
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 garlic cloves, chopped
Method
Mix the sesame oil, orange zest and juice, honey, soy and vinegar in a bowl.
Combine the cornflour, sesame seeds, five-spice and a pinch of salt in another bowl.
Toss the prawns through the cornflour mixture.
Heat the veg oil in a large wok.
When it’s very hot, add the garlic.
Sizzle for 10 secs, but don’t let it brown.
Add the prawns and any flour and seeds left in the bowl.
Stir-fry over a high heat for a few minutes, until the prawns are pink and the sesame seeds are golden.
Tip the prawns onto a plate and pour the sauce mixture into the wok.
Bubble for a few minutes until thickened.
Add the prawns back to the wok and stir to coat in the sauce.
Heat through for another 30 seconds.
