3. Mix the cider, fish sauce and coconut amino together and put to one side.
4. In your wok fry your prawns and scallops with some of your coconut oil.
5. Once cooked through add your shallots, ginger, garlic and chilly until your shallots have softened.
6. Then add you mushrooms and cook until everything has browned off nicely.
7. Remove everything from your wok and put to one side, then adding the rest of your coconut oil fry your choi sum for a couple of minutes until cooked through. Be careful not to over cook so the stalks retain some of their crunchiness.
