Method:

Put all the paste ingredients into a food processor and blitz until a paste is formed.
Heat the oil and sauté the paste until fragrant.
Add the stock and simmer for a few minutes, then add the coconut milk, sugar and fish sauce and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered for +- 15 minutes allowing it to reduce slightly and for the flavour to develop.
Add the green beans and simmer covered for +- 2 minutes, add the prawns and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add more fish sauce if not salty enough.
Serve with basmati rice infused with lemon and coriander.

For the rice:
500 ml (2 cups) basmati rice
1 L cold water
5 ml (1 tsp) salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Handful of chopped coriander

Add the rice and water to a medium pot, cover and bring to the boil. Then turn heat down and simmer until all the water has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to stand covered for 5 minutes. Use a fork to stir in the zest and coriander.
