Ingredients

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

16 raw king prawns, peeled, de-veined, tails on (see recipe tip)

125 gram punnet baby corn, halved lengthways

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, sliced

150 gram snow peas, trimmed, halved diagonally

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

1/4 teaspoon sugar

coriander leaves, to serve

Method

In a large wok, heat half the oil on high. Stir-fry the prawns for 1-2 minutes until they have changed colour. Remove from the wok.

Heat the remaining oil in the wok on high. Stir-fry the corn for 1 minute, then add the remaining vegetables and garlic. Cook for 1 minute until bright in colour and tender-crisp.

Return the prawns to the wok with sauces and sugar. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with coriander.

16 prawns weigh about 500g when shelled. Prawns should not be overcooked as they become tough – look for them to change colour completely.
