Preheat the oil in a frying pan and fry the prawns for a short while until they turn pink. Remove from the pan. Add some more oil if necessary, add garlic and ginger and after they release the aroma add the leek and fry on a medium heat. Once softened add the sauce and bring to the boil.
Add the prawns to the sauce and stir fry until all heated through. then finish with a few drops of sesame oil at the end.
Serve with 1/4 fried pak choi and garnish with chopped chives and chilli strips, if liked.
Tip: if gluten-free is not a priority then sprinkle the prawns with corn flour before frying to give the sauce more viscosity
