Here to challenge your inner chef, our new 'skill up' recipes will take you from zero to hero. These moreish prawn morsels use a wet spiced batter for an airy, crisp coating on the flavourful bites. Paired with "nam chim", a punchy Thai dipping sauce made using a pestle and mortar, it's a taste of Thailand that's easy to recreate at home.

Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Rinse and drain white rice. To garlic pan, add white rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot and cucumber into ribbons (stop when you reach the seeds in the centre). • Slice lemon into wedges.
• In a pestle and mortar, pound coriander, long chilli (if using) and remaining garlic until it resembles a fine paste. Transfer paste to a bowl. • To bowl, add fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the white sugar, hot water and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
TIP: Some like it hot, but if you don't, just hold back on the chilli. TIP: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, you can combine ingredients in a food processor.
• To a medium bowl, add cornflour, satay seasoning, the cold water, egg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk, until smooth and combined. Add peeled prawns, tossing to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, shake off excess batter and cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
• In a second medium bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add cucumber, carrot and mixed salad leaves, tossing to coat. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice and cucumber ribbon salad between bowls. Top with prawns. Serve with DIY nam chim sauce. Enjoy!
