Method:

1. Place the prawns and pork in separate bowls. Mix together 45ml/3 tbsp of wine or sherry, the egg white, 30 ml/2 tbsp of corn-flour and the salt to make a loose batter, adding the water if necessary.

2. Divide the mixture between the pork and prawns and stir well to coat them evenly. Heat the oil and fry the pork and prawns for a few minutes until golden brown.

3. Remove from the pan and pour off all but 15 ml/1 tbsp of oil. Add the stock to the pan with the remaining wine or sherry and corn-flour.

4. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Pour over the prawns and pork and serve sprinkled with sesame oil.
