Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the prawns to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for around 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and toss them together with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the prawns and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and toss in the chopped spring onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
