Method

Step 1

To make the oil, slowly warm the rapeseed oil, sesame oil, ginger and spring onion in a wok over a medium-low heat, until their aroma is released – be careful not to burn. Pour into a bowl.

Step 2

Mix the rest of the chilli oil ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Step 3

Gradually combine the two mixtures, stirring well. Once cool, the oil can be stored in a glass jar for up to two weeks.

Step 4

Cook the rice according to the packet instructions and keep warm.

Step 5

Make the prawn tempura: pour the ice-cold water into a bowl, break in the egg, add the flour and whisk the batter lightly – don’t worry if there are a few lumps.

Step 6

Heat 6tbsp of the vegetable oil in the wok and place the coconut in a shallow dish.

Step 7

Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper. Pinching the tail, dunk each prawn into the batter (keeping the tail and your fingers batter-free), then dip into the coconut. Cover evenly.

Step 8

Shallow-fry the prawns until golden, remove with tongs and place on kitchen paper. Repeat until all prawns are cooked and then sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 9

Wipe out the wok with kitchen paper, add the extra oil and bring it to a high heat. When smoking, add the pak choi and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. 10. Serve the pak choi and prawns over the rice, and dress with the chilli oil and fresh chilli garnish.
