Making a delicious prawn and vegetable konjac rice dish involves a few key steps. Konjac rice, also known as shirataki rice, is a low-carb and low-calorie alternative to traditional rice, and it pairs well with prawns and vegetables. Here's a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

For the prawns:

250g large prawns, peeled and deveined

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the konjac rice:

2 packs of konjac rice (shirataki rice), drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1 cup broccoli florets

2 green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings and garnishes:

Sesame seeds

Sliced chili peppers

Chopped cilantro or parsley

Instructions:

Prepare the Konjac Rice:

Drain and rinse the konjac rice under cold water.

Parboil the konjac rice by boiling it in a pot of water for 2-3 minutes. This helps remove any residual odor.

Drain the rice again and pat it dry using paper towels.

Set aside.

Cook the Prawns:

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

Season the prawns with salt and pepper.

Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables and Assemble:

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed.

Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Add the parboiled konjac rice to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and combine with the vegetables.

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss to coat the rice and vegetables evenly.

Add the cooked prawns back to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to reheat.

Season and Serve:

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed.

Stir in sliced green onions.

Serve the prawn and vegetable konjac rice in bowls.

Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced chili peppers, and chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious prawn and vegetable konjac rice, a healthy and flavorful low-carb meal option!
