A special kind of side dish. It is usually served with rice or white bread.

Halve the thawed prawns lengthwise and remove any remaining gray intestines from the back. Rub with fish sauce and umami and marinate for 10 minutes. Then pat the prawn halves dry with kitchen paper. Drain the well-drained pineapple and pat dry with kitchen paper. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce until smooth and serve in 2 serving bowls. Sprinkle the prawn and pineapple pieces all over with cornflour. Melt the garlic butter in a sufficiently large pan. Add the prawn halves and fry over moderate heat until light brown on both sides. Heat the sunflower oil in a wok until smoking point. Add the pineapple pieces and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove from the wok with a slotted spoon and stir into the prawns. Divide between the serving bowls, toss with the sauce, serve, and enjoy as a side dish or with white bread as a snack.
