Newcomer First Recipe: Teriyaki Prawns With Stir Fried Vegetables And Choi Sum

Hi there Steemfood members!

It's great to be part of this community. I'm a life coach, and when I'm not doing that, I love cooking. I'm a creative person and cooking allows me to experiment and try new things. Since 2018 my family and I turned to a mainly plant based diet. We do eat fish, but no meat. This decision was made as we wanted to become healthier and have more energy throughout the day, and it worked.

Today I want to share a dish with you that is super easy to prepare and cook and it's very yummy.

Teriyaki Prawns With Stir Fried Vegetables And Choi Sum
Ingredients
1 small onion (chopped)
1 carrot (chopped)
2 sticks of celery (chopped)
1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow capsicum (chopped)
1 cup of button mushrooms (quartered)
4 cups of shrimps (or as many as you like)

Side dish
Choi Sum with crushed garlic
Egg noodles

Directions

1. Cook the onions in a wok in a small amount of olive oil
2. Add the carrots and continue tossing for another 2 mins
3. Add the remaining vegetables and stir fry for another 5 mins all together then set aside
4. toss the shrimps in teriyaki sauce - made from 1/4 cup of soya sauce, 2 table spoons of honey, 1/4 cup of water and a teaspoon of cornstarch. You can buy a packet of teriyaki sauce if you want to save a bit of time.
5. Cook the shrimps on a low heat until they turn pink, like in the photo.
6. In another wok stir fry the choi sum in olive oil with 3 cloves of crushed garlic. (I always use olive oil as it's a healthier oil for cooking.)
   The noodles take just 4 mins to cook in boiling water.
   Drain the noodles.

Prepare the dish as in the photo by placing the noodles in first. You can add chilli flakes to make it spicy!

Enjoy the Asian flavours.
