Recipe Makes for 4 Servings:

3 tbsp vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 oz galangal, finely shredded

1 lb fresh prawns, shelled and deveined

1 onion, halved and finely sliced

1 lb long beans, trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths

1/2 cup soy sauce

Marinade:

2 tbsp fish sauce

juice of 2 limes

2 tsp sugar

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 lemon grass stalk, trimmed and finely slices

Directions:

To make the marinade, beat the fish sauce and lime juice in a bowl with the sugar, until it has dissolved. Stir in the garlic and lemon grass. Toss in the prawns, cover and chill for 1-2 hours.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or heavy pan. Stir in the chopped garlic and galangal. Just as they begin to colour, toss in the marinated prawns. Stir-fry for a minute or until the prawns turn pink. Lift the prawns out on to a plate, reserving as much of the oil, garlic and galangal as you can.

Add remaining oil to the wok. Add the onion and stir-fry until slightly caramelized. Stir in the beans, then pour in the soy sauce. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until the beans are tender. Add the prawns and stir-fry for a minute until heated through.
