Cook the Prawns
Combine and Finish
Replace prawns with an equal amount of boneless chicken strips, thinly sliced beef, or fried tofu cubes for a vegetarian option.
Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, baby corn, or bean sprouts. Add them according to their cooking time.
Use gluten-free rice noodles instead of wheat-based Hakka noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free.
For extra texture and flavor, garnish with a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds or roasted peanuts.
Prawns are an excellent source of high-quality, lean protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
This dish includes a variety of vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and capsicum, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, which aids digestion.
The capsaicin from the chillies in the Schezwan sauce can provide a temporary boost to your metabolism and has anti-inflammatory properties.
One serving (approximately 350g) contains around 450-550 calories, depending on the amount of oil and specific sauces used. It's a balanced meal with carbohydrates, protein, and fats.
It can be a relatively healthy meal as it's packed with protein from prawns and vitamins from vegetables. However, the sauces contribute a significant amount of sodium. To make it healthier, use low-sodium soy sauce, control the amount of oil, and add more vegetables.
Yes. For a vegetarian version, replace prawns with paneer or tofu. For a vegan version, use tofu or a mix of mushrooms and other vegetables, and ensure your noodles and Schezwan sauce are egg-free and dairy-free.
While Schezwan sauce is key to the flavor, you can make a substitute by blending soaked dried red chillies, garlic, ginger, a little vinegar, soy sauce, and oil. Alternatively, you can use a mix of chili-garlic sauce and a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns for a similar numbing heat.
The key is to not overcook them; cook until just 'al dente'. Immediately after draining, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to wash off excess starch and stop the cooking process. Tossing them with a teaspoon of oil also prevents sticking.
Absolutely. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking. Pat them very dry with paper towels to ensure they stir-fry properly and don't steam in the wok.
