Cooking Steps

1
1

• Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• While the rice is cooking, slice baby broccoli in half, lengthways. Trim pea pods. Finely chop garlic. Zest lime to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. Finely chop long chilli (if using). • In a medium bowl, combine chilli, a pinch of brown sugar and half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then add tail-on prawns, tossing to coat. Set aside.

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, toast shredded coconut, tossing occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl and allow to cool. Stir through lime zest, then season to taste.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook baby broccoli, tossing, until slightly softened, 4 minutes. • Add pea pods and mixed sesame seeds and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add the soy sauce and cook, tossing to coat, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, ginger paste and the remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk, the brown sugar and fish sauce & rice vinegar mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Stir through half the butter until melted. • While the sauce is cooking, return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining butter. Once the butter is melted, cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3 minutes. • Remove pan from the heat, then add a squeeze of lime juice.

• Roughly chop coriander. • Divide the rice and sesame greens between bowls. Spoon over the coconut sauce, then top with the chilli prawns. • Sprinkle over toasted coconut-lime garnish and coriander. Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The chilli-lime prawns and coconut sauce were widely praised for their fresh, well-balanced flavours. The toasted coconut and lime zest garnish was a particular highlight for many.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this dish quick and straightforward to prepare, with simple steps and minimal fuss.
  • Suggestions: Several customers felt the prawns were on the smaller side and added extra from the supermarket to bulk up the meal. One reviewer suggested adding extra fish sauce to the coconut sauce for a more pronounced flavour, and another recommended incorporating the lime zest directly into the dish rather than only in the garnish.
  • Portions: A number of customers felt the prawn quantity was a little light; adding an extra 500 g from the supermarket worked well for those wanting more.
  • Vegetables: One reviewer noted the baby broccoli became difficult to eat when cooked longer than instructed, so keeping a close eye on timing is worthwhile.
