A lip smacking recipe for prawns sautéed in a chilli garlic sauce interspersed with some crunchy green peppers and onions.

Sprinkle some salt, pepper and cornflour over the prawns. Toss till coated evenly. Then set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
Heat up 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over high heat. Place the prawns in the pan in an even layer. Cook for one minute. Turn the prawns over and cook for another 30 seconds. Now remove the prawns from the pan.
Put the remaining oil into the pan. Add in the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes. Cook till the garlic turns slightly brown. Now put in the onions and capsicum. Cook for another minute till the vegetables have just started cooking but are still crispy.
Now pour in the chilli garlic sauce, brown sugar, soya sauce and water. Stir till everything is dissolved and let it simmer and cook down for a few minutes.
When the mixture gets thick then add in the prawns to the chilli garlic sauce. Toss the prawns in the sauce and cook down for another 2 or 3 minutes. The prawns should be just cooked through and the sauce should be thick and coat the prawns well. Just before removing from the heat, pour in the toasted sesame oil.
Remove from the heat and garnish with some sesame seeds and spring onions. Serve hot over some cauliflower/regular fried rice.
