2. Peel and crush the garlic and ginger. Chop the spring onion and separate the whites from the green. Very finely chop your pak choi widthways
3. Slice the prawns in half lengthways. Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and the whites of the spring onion. Cook for 30 seconds before adding the prawns
4. As soon as the prawns turn pink add in the chilli bean paste (less if you don't like it spicy), the tomato purée, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for a minute
5. Toss in the pak choi and cook for a minute before removing the pan from the heat. Stir the greens of the spring onion through the mixture and serve it with the rice.
