Prawn Stir Fry

Prawn Stir Fry with an all-rounder sauce is a vibrant, quick-cook meal that blends juicy prawns, crisp vegetables, and soft noodles in a perfectly balanced mix of savoury, sweet, and tangy flavours. The sauce, made with oyster, soy, sesame, and a touch of rice vinegar, gives every bite a glossy, satisfying richness without being too heavy. Fresh, colourful and full of texture, prawn stir fry is a dish that works just as well for a speedy weeknight dinner as it does for a dinner party treat.
