1. Tip the sugar into a wok, add a splash of water and let it dissolve over a low heat. Once dissolved, turn up the heat until it bubbles, then pour into a heatproof bowl.
2. Heat the oil in the wok, then stir-fry the broccoli and sweetcorn for 3 mins until they start to blister. Stir the curry paste into the caramel, then pour into the wok. Add the pepper and continue to cook for 2 mins. Splash in the fish sauce or soy, add the prawns and fry again to heat through. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

'When cooked this dish looks appetising and colourful, and is deliciously sweet and savoury. If I cook it again, I'll use even more veg.'

  This was excellent. The flavour was beautifully sweet and spicy. Although it was spicy the children still loved it and has made it to the family favourites cookbook.

  Tried this using raw tiger prawns too - added at the same time as the pepper - which was just as good!

  Really good! Great as an easy mid week meal too. I added some cabbage and a birds eye chilli which tasted great!

  I used this sauce last night with a basic veggie stir-fry (mange tout, red pepper, beansprouts) and it was still fantastic! I usually use Bart's paste as recommended, but I tried M&S too, which was different (in a good way!) - lots of citrus and coconut.

  I didn't have the veg as given in the recipe, just used a bag of pepper stir fry, added some noodles and used king prawns. The sauce was lovely (Tesco's own red thai paste) even although I think I put too big a splash of water in, which made it a bit thinner than I would usually like - but would try it again with less water. As it says, a tasty, quick meal for midweek.

  I would NOT recommend this! There was far too much sugar in it and it ruined the recipe. I was left with the taste of sugar in my mouth for the rest of the evening and it made me feel sick. I think there may be a typing error in the amount of Tbsp required and it should of been 4 Tsp instead!
