Ingredients
- 500 g raw king prawns defrost first if frozen
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 3 cm piece fresh ginger peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
- 2 small red chilllies seeds removed and finely chopped
- 3 coriander stalks finely chopped
- 3 spring onions trimmed and finely chopped
- 1/2 red pepper thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 60 ml white wine
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp fish sauce

Instructions
- Cut a slit down the back of each prawn with a sharp knife
- Spray a wok (or frying pan) with oil (around 10 squirts!) and get it nice and hot
- Stir fry the prawns, garlic, ginger, chilli and coriander stalks over a high heat until the prawns are pink (approx 2-3 minutes)
- Remove the prawns from the wok and set aside
- Add the spring onions and pepper to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, wine and sugar then add this to the wok cook for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.
