6. Finally, add the beansprouts and the chard and stir fry for a minute or two to wilt the chard. Add a little more soy sauce or oyster sauce if you think it needs it, then serve on two plates with the jasmine rice.
This light, healthy supper dish, full of fresh vegetables, is really quick and simple to make, a perfect tasty supper for two.
Fresh prawns are best but, for speed and convenience, you can always keep a bag of frozen king prawns in the freezer and defrost just the amount you need. You can also vary the vegetables to suit you, or to use up what’s in the fridge.
