1/2 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
350 g raw, peeled king prawns

Step 2Heat a frying pan over high heat. Add oil and fry prawns until almost cooked. Set aside on a plate. Return pan to heat, add sauce and bubble for a few minutes to thicken.
Step 3Return prawns to pan and cook for 1min until piping hot and coated with sauce. Stir through the spring onions and coriander. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with Little Gem leaves and lime wedges.
Prawns are one of the quickest proteins to cook. As soon as they turn pink all the way through, they're done. They only need a minute or two on each side, so avoid overcooking them, or they'll curl up tightly and become rubbery.
