  3. Add 1 tbsp oil to a pan on medium high heat. Add onion, ginger and garlic and pan-fry for five minutes.
  4. Add the prawns, green beans, cabbage and bell peppers to the frying pan for about 10 minutes, until cooked thoroughly. Then add the rice wine and soy sauce and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Heat the quinoa and cauliflower together in a frying pan for around five minutes.
  6. Add prawns and vegetable mix to the cauliflower rice. Mix well.
  7. Add soy sauce and sesame oil to taste and plate it up. Garnish with spring onion.
