Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Boil a kettle of water for step 3. Trim ends and roughly chop kai lan. Slice mushrooms. Cut lime in half, juice one half and cut the remaining into wedges. Pick the coriander leaves, discarding stems. Slice chilli.

Tip! When you swap the chef selected protein adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.

Add soy & chicken stock, prawns, 2 cups water and sugar. Mix well to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Tip! Use a neutral oil such as vegetable, nut or rice bran.
