- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Thumb size piece of ginger, minced

Method
Heat oil in a wide frying pan (a wok is fine).
Soften the onion for 5 minutes then add in the ginger, garlic, chilli and lemongrass and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the other spices and sugar and keep stirring. When the sugar starts to melt and everything starts to clump together, add the coriander stems, coconut milk and 2 tbsp of water then bring to a simmer.
Add the vegetables to the sauce and cook for 5 minutes then add the fish and cook for 5 minutes, until the fish is cooked.
Add the prawns and cook until they are pink.
Taste for seasoning and add a squeeze of lime to the sauce.
Scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with rice.
