Let’s make something delicious

  • Step one

    To make the pineapple salsa, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice and brown sugar. Pour over the diced pineapple, cucumber and chilli. Sprinkle in the coriander and stir gently to combine. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

  • Step two

    To make the Bang Bang drizzle, simply combine all the ingredients and stir until well blended.

  • Step three

    To make the prawn tacos, add the prawns, Gochujang Arrabbiata sauce, ginger paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white and cornflour to a blender. Pulse until just combined, with some texture remaining. Spread the prawn mix over the tortillas and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

  • Step four

    Heat a splash of sesame oil in a hot pan, and place the tortillas prawn side down. Press lightly and circle to coat in oil, then fry for 1-2 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through and the sesame seeds are toasted. Flip and cook for a further minute of so on the other side. Repeat until all the tortillas are cooked.

  • Step five

    To serve, spoon a little of the salsa onto each prawn tortilla. Top with the spring onions and mint leaves, finishing with a drizzle of the Bang Bang Sauce. Enjoy!
