Notes
- Feel free to use any veg you have that needs using. Chunky vegetables like courgette and aubergine would work well, although not very traditional.
- Make sure you don't overcook the prawns, otherwise they will become chewy.
- If you don't like prawns, you could make this with just extra vegetables, chicken or even tofu.
- We wouldn't recommend reheating this dish.
- Finish the dish off with some thinly sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
