Ingredients

500 grams Uncooked prawns shelled and deveined, head and tail removed
1 tablespoon Crushed garlic
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Sauce

3 teaspoons Crushed Garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
¼ cup Light or Sugar Free Sweet Chilli sauce (see note 1)
¾ cup Chicken stock/broth
1 tablespoon cornflour/cornstarch

Other

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup Diced broccoli
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
¼ cup Spring onions thinly sliced
2 packets Precooked noodles (see note 3)

To Serve

Squeeze of lime
Dash of soy sauce

Instructions

Heat non stick skillet on a medium high heat and add prawns, 1 teaspoon of garlic and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Move around the pan continuously for 2 – 3 minutes until prawns are cooked, going from translucent to white. Remove prawns from pan and set aside.
Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, diced broccoli and noodles to pan. Work quickly to toss and heat through until broccoli is tender, then remove from heat.
Add all ingredients for sauce into a jug and stir with a whisk until combined and there are no lumps. Add skillet back onto stove on high heat and pour sauce over, stirring continuously. It will thicken quickly.
Add cooked prawns back in and stir through.
Serve immediately with sesame seeds sprinkled on top with fresh thinly sliced spring onion. I also love squeeze of lime juice and a splash (about a tablespoon) of soy sauce

Notes

Sweet Chilli Sauce: There are several varieties of light and sugar free sweet chili sauce available at the supermarket these days. One of the most common is the brad Ayam Light Sweet Chili Sauce. There is also a brand called Mingle Sugar Free Sweet Chilli Sauce. I also make my own sweet chilli sauce.
Prawns: If using frozen frawns, make sure to defrost first and pat off any excess moisture before cooking. Remove intestinal tract from prawns before cooking.
Types of Noodles: Make it with udon noodles, rice noodles, fresh egg noodles, hokkien noodles or singapore noodles, cooked to packet instructions.
Sesame Oil: I love a little drizzle of sesame oil stirred through at the end before serving for additional flavor. Don't overdo it though. A little goes a long way.
Storing leftovers: store in an airtight container for 2 days. Reheat in microwave, or in a wok with a little oil.
