Method
step 1
Cook the rice following pack instructions and set aside. To make the mango salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Season and set aside. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl with 4 tbsp water. Set aside.
step 2
Heat the sesame oil in a large, deep, frying pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic for about 2 mins until just golden brown, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the green beans and a splash of water, cover and cook for 2-3 mins until almost tender. Add the asparagus tips and stir well, then the spinach. Cover and cook for 2-3 mins to wilt.
step 3
Add the prawns, basil and chilli and cook, stirring continuously for 3-4 mins until the prawns are pink and opaque. Stir in the sauce and heat through for another minute or two. Serve immediately with the jasmine rice and mango salsa.
