How to Make Prawn Sang Choy Bow

  1. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 finely chopped spring onions, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 inch grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add 200g cooked, peeled, and roughly chopped prawns, 100g finely chopped water chestnuts, 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to taste), 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander root, 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, until prawns are heated through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Remove from heat. Season generously with salt to taste and stir in 2 tbsp lime juice.
  5. To serve: Using a slotted spoon, carefully scoop the prawn mixture into the washed and dried lettuce leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
