To Prep

1. In a wok, combine the sauce ingredients and stir fry until fragrant and the palm sugar has dissolved. Check for seasoning and adjust by adding more tamarind or palm sugar.

To Cook

1. In a wok, add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and stir fry the chicken strip and prawns for about 2 mins before removing from the wok and setting aside.
