Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. While it cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan or wok over medium heat, then add the onion, peppers, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and softened.

Add the prawns to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 1-2 minutes, tossing regularly, just until they begin to turn pink.

Stir in the cooking sake, gochujang paste, and passata. Let the sauce bubble over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring well so the gochujang dissolves evenly and coats the prawns.
