1. 1Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, taste it to check if you like the balance of flavour and adjust if you wish.
2. 2Set this aside.
3. 3Heat the oil on a very high heat in a wok. Get the oil as hot as you can, just below smoking point.
4. 4Check the heat by dropping a piece of spring onion (scallion) and if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
5. 5Add the chili, garlic and ginger.
6. 6Stir.
7. 7Cook for about 30 seconds.
8. 8Add the spring onions (scallions).
9. 9Cook for a further minute.
10. 10Add the shrimp (prawns).
11. 11Cook for about 2 minutes or until they turn pink.
12. 12Add the sauce, keeping the heat high so that as soon as it hits your pan or wok, it sizzles and reduces.
13. 13When the sauce has thickened a little, add the pak choi.
14. 14Mix through.
15. 15Cover it, cooking only for a minute.
16. 16Serve with simply boiled white rice and sprinkle with some fresh coriander (cilantro).
