Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 medium heads broccoli (700g), broken into florets
• 2 tablespoons reduced-salt gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion (150g), sliced thinly
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4cm (1½in) piece fresh ginger, grated finely
• 2 fresh long red chillies, 1 seeded and chopped finely, 1 sliced thinly
• 400g (12½oz) uncooked prawns (shrimp), peeled, cleaned, halved lengthways
• 3 green onions (scallions), 2 chopped finely, 1 sliced thinly lengthways
• 1 cup (120g) frozen peas
• 150g (4½oz) sugar snap peas, sliced thinly
• 2 cups (160g) bean sprouts

Method

1. Cook eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 6 minutes. Run under cold water until cool; peel.
2. Meanwhile, process broccoli until chopped finely to form the broccoli ‘rice’.
3. Combine soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
4. Heat olive oil in a large wok over high heat. Add onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and chopped chilli; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add prawns; stir-fry for 1 minute or until cooked through. Add 2 tablespoons water; bring to the boil. Add chopped green onion and broccoli; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add peas and sugar snap peas; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture; stir-fry until well combined.
5. Remove from heat. Stir through bean sprouts.
6. Divide broccoli ‘rice’ and prawn mixture among four bowls

Tips: If you don’t have a wok, use a large frying pan instead. You can make this the night before and divide broccoli ‘rice’ and prawn mixture among four take-away containers or airtight containers. Refrigerate to take to work and reheat for lunch the next day.
