Tips for a good stir-fry


What makes a good stir fry?

  • Use carry paste to bring flavour
  • Add coconut milk but don't over do with it!
  • Always have a bottle of sesame seed oil in your cupboard (it will last for a good awhile)
  • Add fresh ginger

King prawn Stir fry

 Stir fry veggie mix (any, i.e. from Tesco), we usually use the one with mushrooms/beansprouts
 King prawns
 4 cloves of garlic
 1 Onion
 Sesame Oil
 Curry paste (Whole Life Challenge compliant can be found from Waitrose)
 Spinach leafs (if you have any leftovers)
 Salt
 Black pepper
 Paprika Powder
 2dlMilk
 4cm of fresh ginger
 Fresh coriander (not mandatory)


  • Start by chopping the garlic and ginger (as finely chopped as you can)
  • Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and add garlic, ginger and curry paste (the amount of carry paste depends on how spicy your paste is, if doubts do first stir fry with 1½ teaspoon and if you need more hotness then add just regular hot paprika powder. And on next time use more curry paste
  • Stir-fry for just few minutes
  • Start adding other ingredients, if you have pre-cooked prawns you can at those last, if not add those now
  • Add onion (don't chop it into too small), fry for a minute or two and add the stir-fry veggie mix. Season with salt, pepper, paprika powder
  • When its is about two-thirds done, add your 2dl of coconut milk and 2 teaspoons of sesame seed oil
  • Let it cook on low heat under a cover and until fully cooked
 
Served with avocado/spinach salad and boiled broccoli/cauliflower
