Prawn & Mango Coconut Bowl
Sunset-orange mango and pink prawns piled over white rice, the toasted coconut and cashews catching the light, with a cool white swirl of coconut yoghurt and a bright lime wedge on the rim.
Ingredients
- 500 g raw king prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red chilli, sliced
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.5 cucumber, diced
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 15g fresh coriander
- 15g fresh mint
- 300 g cooked jasmine rice
- 60 g rocket or mixed leaves
- 30 g toasted shredded coconut
- 30 g roasted cashews, roughly chopped
- Sweet chilli dipping sauce, to serve
- Quick pickled red onion, to serve
- Coconut yoghurt, to serve
Method
- Heat the coconut oil in a large wok over very high heat until it shimmers. Add the prawns in a single layer and cook without moving for 90 seconds, until the undersides are caught with colour. Flip them over.
- Add the garlic and sliced chilli. Toss and cook for 1 more minute, until the prawns are pink, curled, and just cooked through — any longer and they'll go rubbery.
- Pull the wok off the heat. Splash over the fish sauce and half the lime juice. Toss to coat so every prawn is glossy.
- In a separate bowl, toss the mango, cucumber, coriander, and mint leaves with the remaining lime juice. Taste — it should be bright, fragrant, and just sharp enough.
- Divide the rice between four bowls and top with the rocket.
- Spoon over the prawns and any pan juices, then pile on the mango salsa. Scatter with the toasted coconut and cashews.
- Finish each bowl with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, a spoon of sweet chilli sauce, a tangle of pickled red onion, a squeeze of lime, and a scatter of toasted sesame seeds.
