This is honestly one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just 15 minutes flat. Fresh ginger gives it such a vibrant kick and it's brilliant for settling your stomach after a heavy day. The sesame oil and chilli create this addictive aromatic flavour that makes the prawns and broccoli sing, while the beansprouts add a lovely crisp texture. It's healthy, impressive enough to serve guests, and won't break the bank. Best of all, it requires minimal chopping and practically cooks itself in the pan.

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry wok or large frying pan. When they’re nicely browned, turn up the heat and add the oil, prawns and cooked broccoli. Stir-fry for a few mins until the prawns turn pink. Pour over the ginger sauce, then tip in the beansprouts. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the beansprouts are heated thoroughly, adding a splash more soy or ginger syrup, if you like. Scatter with the sliced chilli and serve over rice or noodles.
