I like to try new recipe's so when I came across this one when I was looking at Chinese dishes, I thought I would give it a go. Especially since Skye seems to enjoy prawns a little more than she used to.

This recipe comes from the BBC Good Food website.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients

2 tsp sesame oil

1 large orange, juiced & zested

3 tbsp honey

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

3 tbsp cornflour

2 tbsp sesame seeds

Generous pinch of Chinese Five-Spice powder

300g raw king prawns

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 spring onions, sliced

200g basmati rice

In a small bowl, mix together the sesame oil, orange zest and juice, honey, soy sauce and vinegar.

In a separate bowl, combine the cornflour, sesame seeds, five-spice and and a pinch of salt.

Next run a small knife down the back of each prawn, so they butterfly out as they cook, helping more sauce to stick to them.

Toss the prawns through the cornflour mixture.

Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, once hot add the garlic and sizzle for 10 seconds.

Add the prawns, as well as the remaining flour mixture. Stir-fry over a high heat for a few minutes, until the prawns are pink and the sesame seeds are golden.

Tip the prawns onto a plate.

Pour the sauce mixture into the pan. Bubble for a few minutes until thickened.

Add the prawns back into the pan and stir to coat in the sauce. Heat through for another 30 seconds.

Top with spring onions and serve with rice.

This was really easy to cook, the recipe was really simple to follow.

Both myself and Skye enjoyed it, it was full of flavour and the prawns were really juicy.

I'll happily cook this again and I think Skye would love that I did too.

If you would like to follow the original recipe I took this dish from, then head over to the Honey, Sesame & Orange King Prawns recipe page.

See you soon!

Cook restaurant quality meals!

Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First cooked from this box we have the Cod & Chorizo Hash. In this kit, you get Fish Rub, Saffron Aioli Mix and Potato Hash Seasoning.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6

Prepare the cod.

Fry the potatoes.

Add the Mediterranean flavours.

Serve!

It's been a while since we tried this, so I feel I need to get it again to give it a try. I remember the chorizo and potatoes being nice and the cod fell apart it was so good. The flavours really worked well together. Skye isn't a fan of fish so as you could guess, she wasn't really a fan, although she did eat all her chorizo.

Next from this box I cooked the Moghul Chicken Korma, In this kit, you get  Korma Curry Paste, Coconut & Garlic Puree and Korma Spice Garnish.

Get the onion and rice on.

Cook the chicken.

Add the almonds and cream.

Serve!

This is a favourite for me and Skye, we've had it quite a few times since we first had it. It's full of flavour and may I add I personally think it's better than what you can get from some take away's, it also works out cheaper too.

Last from this box I cooked the Thai Red Prawn Curry. In this kit, you get Garlic Paste, Thai Red Paste and Thai Red Garnish.

Make some rice.

Start the curry base.

Add the veg.

Serve!

While I did like this dish, I definitely think that next time I'll cook down the sauce a bit more as it was just too runny, I'd love a more thicker sauce. Skye yet again wasn't a fan, but I never take it as a failure, I like to try her with dishes 2 or 3 times before allowing her to fully decide that she doesn't like something.

Now let me get to the business side of the Simply Cook boxes, each box comes with 4 recipe kits which include 3 pots of sauces, herb, stock etc, as well as 4 step-by-step recipe cards, that contain the full list of ingredients you'll need, and alternatives etc.
