Ingredients

1 firm, slightly under ripe mango (not green)
1 teaspoon of cornflour
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
10grm garlic finely chopped
100grm shallots finely chopped
1 - 1.5 red bird's eye chillies, finely chopped
500grm large raw peeled prawns
Juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
Large handful of Thai sweet basil leaves
White pepper


Directions

Peel the mango and slice the flesh away from either side of the flat stone in the centre. Cut it roughly into 1cm pieces.

Mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic, allow to sizzle for a few seconds until it begins to change colour. Add the shallots and sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the chillies and prawns, increase the heat to high and stir fry for approximately 2 minutes until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of water, the lime juice, fish sauce and cornflour mixture and stir fry for a few seconds to thicken the sauce. Then add the mangos and heat through. Stir in the basil, season with a little white pepper and serve.
