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.

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook 1/2 the garlic 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 carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • Pat prawns dry with paper towel. • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, the honey, 1/2 the sesame seeds and a splash of water. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine cornflour and a pinch of salt. Add prawns, tossing to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot and green beans, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add remaining garlic 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.
• Return veggies to the pan with the prawns. • Add sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until combined, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with sesame honey prawns and veggies. • Sprinkle over remaining sesame seeds. Garnish with chilli to serve. Enjoy!
