Broccoli and Prawn Sambal Stir Fry

Broccoli and Prawn Sambal Stir Fry is a simple stir fry dish of broccoli and prawns in a spicy sweet sambal sauce

Tired of the usual boring taste of Asian stir fries? I remember one of my friends had this issue before hence he stopped eating Chinese food for a while because most Chinese stir fries for him just tasted like sesame oil. Now because of that I too had been feeling the same thing, you can’t blame him as most of their stir fries use sesame oil and that has a strong lasting taste, I think that is why they down it with Chinese tea. To solve that issue I started using other ingredients for broccoli dishes, like garlic sauce, black bean sauce, oyster sauce, bechamel sauce, olive oil and lemon, broccoli roasted and mushroom soy sauce to name some, and today to add to that arsenal I will making it with some sambal tumis for that nice spicy sweet kick!
