Method

1.Heat a little oil in a wok. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the spring onions and stir-fry for a minute. Add the chillies, half the ginger and the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the tomato dice and stir-fry for another minute. Season. Remove and place in a warm serving dish.


2.Wipe out the pan, add a little more oil, and when it is very hot quickly seal the prawns on both sides (they will open out like butterflies). Add the remaining ginger and the mangoes. Splash in the rum and flambé.


3.Arrange the prawns, ginger and mangoes with their pan juices on the bed of stir-fried vegetables.
