Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9/ air fryer 190C. Cut the sweet potatoes into fries. Place on a lined baking tray, toss with 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Roast for 20-25 mins/ air fryer 15-20 mins, until soft and golden.
- Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-sized pieces. Halve the mangetout. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pak choi, ginger & garlic paste, gochujang paste and almond cream. Simmer for 2-3 mins, then add the prawns and mangetout. Crumble in the stock cube. Cook for 6-8 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- Meanwhile; slice the chilli and spring onions at an angle. Add the sesame seeds to the pot of sesame oil and mix well. Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot. Cook for longer if necessary.
- Serve the creamy gochujang prawns in bowls, garnished with the chilli (to taste) and spring onions. Serve the fries on the side. Drizzle over the sesame oil and seed mixture (to taste).
