Lunch Monday 21 August - Prawn, Noodle & Veggie Stir Steam


Prawn, Noodle & Veggie Stir Steam
1 recipe Chinese style sauce (see recipe on entry for Fri 14 July)
110g cooked king prawns
60g mange tout
60g baby corn
1 carrot (about 70g)
2 spring onions (about 30g)
1 nest of Chinese egg noodles, about 2 oz/56g, soaked in boiling hot water until soft

Bring the sauce ingredients to a simmer. Place the carrot and baby corn in a bamboo steamer over the sauce and steam from about 5 minutes, of until just barely tender. Add the mange tout, steam for a further two minutes and remove from the pot.

Add the noodles to the sauce and cook for about 2 minutes, or according to package instructions.

Add 1 tablespoon corn flour mixed with a little cold water to thicken. Add the prawns to warm through while the sauce thickens. Add 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and stir through.

Place the steamed veggies in a serving bowl, pour the noodles/prawns and sauce over and toss gently but thoroughly.

Scatter the shredded spring onions across the top and serve.
