1 Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl, then add the prawns. Toss to coat. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes while you prep the peas, ginger, and garlic.

2 Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the peanut oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add the ginger and garlic and toss to combine. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds.

3 Add the prawns and all the marinade to the pan (scrape out all the marinade with a rubber spatula). Add the snow peas, soy sauce and chicken stock. Stir-fry until the prawns turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the spring onions and stir-fry 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil. Toss to combine once more and serve with steamed rice.

Enjoy!
