In this perfectly sweet and savoury dish, a dusting of cornflour on the prawns before they go into the pan is key; it ensures the prawns retain their juiciness, all while getting a lovely crisp coating on the exterior.

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice long chilli (if using). • Pat prawns dry with paper towel. In a large bowl, combine cornflour and a pinch of salt. Add prawns, tossing to coat. • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, sesame oil blend, the honey and half the sesame seeds. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook carrot & zucchini mix, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add remaining garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • Shake off excess flour from prawns, then cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • To pan with prawns, return veggies and add sauce mixture, and cook, tossing, until combined, 1 minute.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with sesame honey prawns and veggies. • Sprinkle over remaining sesame seeds. Garnish with chilli (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
