Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop or slice the vegetables into pieces roughly the same size. Slice the carrots diagonally, slice the baby corn, cut the broccoli into small florets and slice the stem, then finely slice the peppers and cabbage or pak choi.
- Heat the oil and aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and grated ginger and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the prepared vegetables to the pan and toss to coat in the oil. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add sauces: Pour in 1½ tablespoons of reduced salt soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce if using. Mix well to combine and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Add protein: Stir in 200g of cooked prawns, flaked salmon, or shredded chicken breast. Heat through thoroughly, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the stir-fry hot over 200g of cooked egg noodles.
