200g raw, peeled tiger prawns from a sustainable source

1 green Thai chilli, chopped

3 garlic cloves, 1 crushed and 2 finely sliced
·
1 bunch coriander, leaves and stalks separated
·
1 tbsp caster sugar
·
juice 1 lime
·
3 tbsp fish sauce
·
2 tbsp groundnut oil
·
3cm piece ginger, finely sliced, then shredded
·
8 spring onions, finely sliced
·
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
·
85g water chestnuts, sliced
·
100g beansprouts
·
1 tbsp soy sauce

egg or rice noodles, to serve
·
lime wedges, to serve
Method
1.
Put the prawns in a bowl. Put the chilli, crushed garlic,
coriander stalks (snip these up using scissors first) and caster sugar in a
spice grinder or small food processor and whizz together. Add half of the lime
juice and the fish sauce, then pour this over the prawns.
2.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, add the ginger and spring onions and
fry for 1 min. Add the red pepper and fry for 1 min, until the pepper starts to
soften. Add the water chestnuts and bean sprouts, and toss together until the
bean sprouts start to wilt. Add the soy sauce and a really good grind of black
pepper, then tip the lot into a serving dish.
3.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok and add the prawns, lifting
them out of their juices. Toss for 1-2 mins until they turn pink, add the
marinade and swirl the wok quickly, then tip the lot onto the veg. Snip over
the coriander leaves and sprinkle on the remaining lime. Serves over noodles
with extra lime for squeezing over.
