  • 4 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp palm sugar, or light muscovado sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

Step 1

Mix together the ginger, lemon grass, lime leaves, fish sauce and sugar and put to one side.

Step 2

Meanwhile heat a wok on high and when it’s really hot add in the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the king prawns and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the prawns have gone pink with slightly golden edges. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 3

Throw in the onion and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the chilli, garlic and spring onion and stir-fry for a further 4 minutes until the onions have softened. Add the prawns back in and the British asparagus and stir fry for a further minute.

Step 4

Finally pour over the sauce which was prepared earlier, and cook until the sauce becomes sticky (3 minutes).

Step 5

Serve immediately, topped with the fresh herbs and with the Thai rice.
