Instructions
Clean and devein the prawns, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger and garlic. Thinly slice the spring onions and red chili (if using). Set aside.

Toss in the sliced spring onions and red chili, stirring for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Season with a little salt if needed, and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
