Skinny Peanut Prawn or Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
- 200g bean-sprouts/stir-fry mixed veg*
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 300-500g prawns/chicken breast (cubed)
- 200ml (1/2 can) light coconut milk
- 3 tbsp peanut butter**
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 tsp oil for frying - I used coconut
- Noodles to serve
Instructions
- Cook the onion in a pan with the oil, garlic, ginger and chilli for 5-10 minutes until browned before adding in the rest of your stir-fry veg, using a medium heat.
- If you are using chicken, once the vegetables have softened set the vegetable mixture to one side and brown the meat in the pan on a medium-high heat. If you are using prawns simply add the (cooked) prawns to the pan with the vegetables in before moving to step 3.
- Mix together the onion mix and browned chicken/prawns before adding the coconut milk, peanut butter, honey and soy sauce.
- Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and meanwhile cook your noodles according to the packet (usually simmering them in boiling water for 4 minutes).
- Add the juice of 1/2 a lime to the pan and serve… noodles first, stir-fry & sauce second.. and enjoy!
Notes
*I used a stir-fry mix containing cabbage, bean sprouts & carrots (buying pre chopped is so convenient!)
**I decided to use 4 tbsp of peanut flour (PPB/PB2) mixed with 2 tbsp water for a lighter alternative to peanut butter
I kept left over sauce in the fridge for the next day for another stir fry.. and I'm also planning on using the coconut milk in my porridge (yum!).
