Direction
  1. To make the tamarind dressing, combine the tamarind pulp and hot water in a small heatproof bowl. Set aside for 15 minutes to soak. Strain through a fine sieve into a jug. Discard the seeds and pulp. Add the lemon grass, lemon juice, sugar, fish sauce and sesame oil, and stir to combine.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the prawns and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the prawns curl and change colour. Remove from heat.
  3. Place the red and yellow tomatoes, onion, coriander, basil, mint, Asian greens and chilli in a large bowl. Add the prawns and dressing, and gently toss until just combined. Arrange on serving plates and serve immediately.
