The Ingredients You Need

  1. 1 cauliflower, broken into florets: Cauliflower has a mild, slightly sweet flavour that allows it to absorb the bold seasonings and sauces used in the stir-fry.

  2. 1 tbsp vegetable oil: The vegetable oil is used to stir-fry the ingredients over high heat. This helps to quickly sear and cook the vegetables and prawns, while also helping to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the dish.

  3. ½ red chilli, finely sliced: The red chilli in this dish provides a kick of heat and spice to the dish.

  4. A thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated: ​​The ½ red chilli, sliced, provides a tasty spice to the dish.

  5. 60g raw king prawns: The raw king prawns add a tender, succulent protein element to the stir-fry.

  6. 1 tbsp rice vinegar: The 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar provides a touch of acidity that helps to brighten and balance the overall flavour profile of the dish.

  7. 2 tbsp hoisin sauce: The 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce lend a savoury-sweet, umami-rich flavour that coats and seasons the other ingredients.

  8. 3 spring onions, shredded: The shredded spring onions contribute freshness and crunch to the stir-fry.

  9. 15g peanuts, roughly chopped: The 15g of roughly chopped peanuts add a delightful textural contrast, as well as a nutty, roasted flavour.

  10. Cooked brown rice to serve: Serving the cooked brown rice provides a base that can soak up the bold and tasty flavours of the dish.

How To Cook This Dish

Heat the grill to high. Then, place the cauliflower florets with ½ tbsp of vegetable oil on a baking tray. Grill for 15-20 minutes until tender and golden brown.

In a small saucepan or wok, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic clove (finely sliced), ½ red chilli (finely sliced), and a thumb-sized piece of ginger (finely grated). Cook for no more than a few minutes as you don't want the ingredients to burn in the pan.

Increase the heat, then add the 60g of raw king prawns. Fry for 1 minute until the prawns start to turn pink.

Splash in the 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 2 tbsp hoisin sauce. Let the sauce bubble for a minute and add the grilled cauliflower florets to the sauce and toss to coat everything evenly.

Remove from heat and top with the 3 shredded spring onions and 15g of roughly chopped peanuts.

Serve the Kung pao cauliflower and prawn stir-fry over cooked brown rice. Last but not least - enjoy!
