Purple sprouting broccoli and prawn stir-fry
Report
This stir-fry combines medium prawns and purple sprouting broccoli florets with baby corn in a light, savory sauce. The prawns are quickly marinated and cooked over high heat for a tender texture while the vegetables maintain a slight crunch. Garlic and light soy sauce add aromatic and salty notes, making this a crisp, fresh-tasting dish suitable for a nutritious meal.
Description
In this purple sprouting broccoli and prawn stir-fry, prawns are prepared by slicing their backs without cutting through, then marinated briefly with Shaoxing rice wine and corn starch. Stir-frying over high heat cooks them until pink and curled but still tender. The remaining oil is used to sauté crushed garlic until fragrant before adding the broccoli, baby corn, and soy sauce.
Vegetables remain slightly crisp and vibrant, complementing the juicy prawns. A final sprinkle of salt rounds out the seasoning. Rapid cooking preserves texture and the natural flavors of the ingredients.
This dish can be served as a simple main or side and works well alongside steamed rice or noodles for a balanced meal.
