Stir-fried Prawns in Sweet Chilli Sauce
Stir-fried Prawns in Sweet Chilli Sauce with Egg Fried Rice
I have been eating out/taking away for the most part of the last two months as I was doing a bit of travelling and also catching up with work. It really made me miss home-cooked food greatly. During busy times like these, I’m glad I have fail-safe, easy and fast recipes like this stir-fried prawns with snow peas and carrots to fall back on. The sauce is almost instant as I used sweet chilli sauce as the base. The great thing about sweet chilli sauce, as the name implies, is that it is sweet so it can cater to everyone. I added sliced chilli padi to the stir-fry and it instantly transforms to a hot and sweet stir-fry sauce. Pairing it with my 10-minute egg fried rice, I had a healthy & balanced home-cooked meal figured out in about half an hour.

Stir-fried Prawns in Sweet Chilli Sauce with Snow Peas and Carrots
The sauce is courtesy of the nice folks at WorldFoods who sent me some bottles to sample. I was really happy with the results of my stir-fry. Besides using in stir-fries, it can also be used as a dipping sauce so to me, it is a versatile sauce that is really useful to have in the pantry.
