  3. Place the griddle on the grill and turn the heat to medium-high heat to preheat.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil and then add the onions and carrots and saute for about 4 minutes.
  5. Next add the red bell peppers, snap peas, celery, and asparagus and cook for another 8 minutes.
  6. Turn one side of the griddle down to low, push all the veggies to the side on low and create the well in the center of the veggies.
  7. Add the sauce and stir well, until the sauce thickens and coats all the veggies.
  8. Total cooking time for the veggies is around 15 minutes. Once they are done, turn the heat off and move to the right side of the griddle to cook the prawns.
  9. For the prawns: With the veggies done and set aside on the left side, spray the right side with Bull nonstick spray.

  11. Turn the prawns over and brush with the remaining sweet chili paste. Cook for another 4 minutes or until done.
  12. To plate, toss the veggies and mung beans together and evenly divide the grilled veggies onto 4 plates. Top each plate with 4 large prawns, add some lemongrass white rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
