Also in this recipe

• Ground Nut Oil 2 tbsp
• Water Chestnut 85 g

Instructions

• Put the prawns in a bowl. Place the chopped green chilli, 3 crushed garlic cloves, coriander stalks (snipped with scissors) and 1 tablespoon caster sugar into a spice grinder or small food processor and blitz together. Add half the juice of 1 lime and 3 tablespoons fish sauce, then pour the marinade over the prawns and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon groundnut oil in a wok over high heat. Add the ginger and 8 sliced spring onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the sliced red pepper and fry for a further 1 minute until it begins to soften. Add 85g water chestnuts and 100g bean sprouts and toss everything together until the bean sprouts start to wilt. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a generous grind of black pepper, then tip the vegetables into a serving dish.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon groundnut oil in the wok. Lift the prawns out of their marinade and add them to the wok. Toss for 1–2 minutes until they turn pink, then pour in the reserved marinade and swirl the wok quickly to coat. Tip everything over the vegetables. Snip the coriander leaves over the top and sprinkle with the remaining lime juice. Serve immediately over cooked rice noodles with extra lime wedges for squeezing.
