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.
