THAI PRAWNS WITH PINEAPPLE & GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large wok. Sauté the lemongrass and ginger until golden. Add the pineapple, beans and cherry tomatoes, and stir-fry for 3-5 mins until the beans are just cooked. Add the prawns and the sauce. Stir-fry for another 3-5 mins until the prawns are cooked, then throw in most of the basil leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the remaining basil leaves scattered over.

THAI GREEN PRAWN CURRY

• Add the sugar snap peas and cook for 1-2 mins until just beginning to soften. Add the prawns, soy sauce and lemon juice and heat through. Stir in the coriander and serve straight away with noodles.

MUMMY PING'S SAMBAL PRAWNS & GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• First, make the spice paste. Soak the dried chillies in hot water for 20 mins until soft. Drain, then mix the chillies with the rest of the spice paste ingredients in a processor or blender to make an even, fine-textured paste.
• Put a large pan of water on to boil, then drop in the green beans and cook for 3 mins. Lift the beans from the water, cool under cold running water, then drain. Using the same pan of water, cook the prawns for 1-2 mins, until they have just turned pink, then run these under cold water too.
• Heat the oil a large wok or frying pan and fry the spice paste over a medium heat for 8-10 mins. Stir in the tamarind paste, chicken stock powder and sugar, and cook for 2 mins. Add the prawns, green beans and 4 tbsp water, and cook for 4-5 mins more until the prawns are completely cooked through and the beans are just tender. Serve immediately with the Pandan steamed rice (see 'Goes well with').
