SPICY THAI PRAWN STIR FRY


THAI SPICED PRAWNS MARINATED IN GINGER, CHILLI & LEMONGRASS.  STIR FRIED WITH BABY CORNS, COURGETTES, SUGAR SNAP PEAS, MANGETOUT, CARROT, BROCCOLI, SWEETCORN, PAK CHOI, BELL PEPPERS, ONIONS AND CHILLIES




THAI SPICE MARINADE
1 inch fine grated ginger
2 hot chillies fine chopped
1 stick lemongrass finely diced
1 juice of lime
Bunch chopped coriander

PERFECT RICE
1 cup of rice
2 cups of water
20g butter

Wash the rice and soak for 15 minutes in cold water.  Drain and add the two cups of water and half the butter, do not ever stir the rice, this will encourage the gluten to release making glupey rice.  With the lid on bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer, cook for 5 minutes, take of the heat and do not lift the lid, the steam and heat will continue to cook the rice for the next 5 minutes, absorbing any liquid that is left in the pan.  When ready drop the rest of the butter on top of the rice and replace the lid just to melt the butter.  With a fork gently fluff up the rice and serve.
