Thai prawn curry

1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan and fry onion, ginger, garlic and star anise over a high heat for 2 minutes. Add red pepper and stir-fry for 2 more minutes, then stir in the curry paste.

2. When the curry paste has lost its raw aroma, stir in the fish stock and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then season to taste with caster sugar and fish sauce.

3. Add prawns to the curry and poach gently until they just turn opaque. Serve the curry sprinkled with spring onion and garnished with lime wedges.
