- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, and cornstarch. Mix well to create the sauce base and set aside.
Step 2
Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel and season with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and sauté for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the spring onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the diced mango to the pan and stir-fry gently for another 1-2 minutes to warm the mango.
Step 6
Return the cooked prawns to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the green parts of the spring onions over the dish and give it a final stir.
