Ingredients
  • 250g Prawns (King or Tiger are best)
  • 2 x Baby Leeks (or half a regular leek)
  • Matchbox-size of peeled ginger
  • 1 x Red Chilli
  • 5cm celery
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of mirin or ginger wine
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 200mls water
  • 1 teaspoon of cornflour

Directions
  1. Prep the ingredients. Peel the prawns if necessary. Finely slice the leeks (use mainly the white of the leek with a little green for decoration). Slice the chilli thinly lengthways. Matchstick the ginger. Finely slice the celery. Dissolve the chicken stock in hot water.
  2. Heat the oil in your wok and stir fry the leeks, ginger, chilli and celery for one minute.
  3. Push it all to the side of the wok and throw in the prawns. Stir-fry until cooked - about two minutes.
  4. Add the soy sauce, mirin and stock and mix in the wok. Add the cornflour to thicken the sauce.
  5. Cook until the sauce is thickened and your kitchen is filled with fresh aromas.
  6. Serve with rice.

Yes indeed. Yum.


I added baby corn to this dish. I usually throw in anything sensible I have in the fridge.
