1. Heat a wok until you can feel a good heat rising. Add 2 tbsp oil and, a few secs later, the garlic slices. Stir-fry until they start to turn golden, then using a slotted spoon, spoon onto kitchen paper to drain.
2. Toss in the pepper and stir-fry for 1 min or so until softened, then scoop out and set aside. Add the remaining tbsp oil. Heat, then toss in the prawns and stir-fry for another 2-3 mins until cooked and beginning to brown. Add the soy or fish sauce.
3. Throw in the spinach and stir-fry until it begins to wilt. Return the peppers and crisp garlic to the wok, then serve immediately.

  For a fairly simple dish this was really nice. You can get away with only 2 tablespoons of oil - less fat. I added some straight to wok noodles for a complete meal.

  I cooked this for supper & found it to be very tasty and quick, but next time I may add either a small amount of chilli or ginger to it just for a change. Would reccomend it though. Also very good for those of us trying to loose weight
