Stir-fried mange tout with prawns

Stir-fried mange tout with prawns

Both of you had a hard day at work? Then you want a recipe that's quick to make, but will also impress your other half!

  • Preparation: 10 mins
  • Cooking: 10 mins
  • Serves: 2

What you need:

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 4cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 300g mange tout
  • 2 tbsp Blue Dragon Shaoxing wine
  • 2 tsp Blue Dragon light soy sauce
  • 200g cooked prawns, peeled

What you do:

  1. Heat the oil in a wok until hot. Add the ginger and then the garlic and watch it sizzle. After 10 seconds or so add the mange tout and stir fry for a minute or so. After this time (or before if the garlic/ginger starts to burn) add the Blue Dragon Shaoxing wine and Blue Dragon light soy sauce, and the prawns.
  2. Stir fry for a further minute to warm through the prawns and serve, with steamed jasmine rice.

Cook's tip:

This delicious dish tastes just as good with sliced scallops. Cook them first until caramelised and set aside. Add them in place of the prawns at the end.
