  • 12 large prawns, tails removed

  • 1 red pepper, cut into short julienne strips

  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic

  • 2 tbsp chopped ginger

  • 2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp Vietnamese fish sauce

  • 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp Mitsukan vinegar

Method (prawns and sauce):

  2. Add garlic and ginger to wok and heat on high for a minute

  3. Add prawns and stir-fry for two minutes

  4. Add oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and red pepper (saving a few)

  5. Keep stirring for another two or three minutes. Remove prawns and place on warmed plate

  6. Reduce sauce (add white wine if it gets too thick)

Method (cod):

  1. In a sauce pan with a lid, heat a small amount of peanut oil on medium heat

  2. Place the cod fillets in the pan

  3. Add a few of the julienned red pepper strips
