Cooking Steps

1

Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Keep covered until the 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, slice the baby broccoli in half, lengthways. Trim the sugar snap peas. Finely chop the garlic. Zest the lime to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. Finely chop the long red chilli (if using). Finely chop the makrut lime leaves. In a medium bowl, combine the chilli, makrut lime, a pinch of brown sugar and 1/2 the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then add the prawns, tossing to coat. Set aside.

TIP: Makrut lime leaves are fibrous, so make sure to cut them into small pieces!
