- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add the lemongrass, ginger, chilli, garlic, salt and oil and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until fragrant. Add the coconut and cook for 2 minutes or until toasted. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Wine note: We have paired this recipe with Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019 which has subtle tropical notes, with hints of passionfruit backed by zesty citrus, orchard blossom and lime.
