1 Pierce the coconut and drain the water. Reserve this for another use. Open the coconut and use a large kitchen spoon to remove the soft flesh, then slice into fine strips.
2 Fry the onion, ginger, garlic and lime leaves in vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok over a high heat for 3 minutes, until very aromatic. Add the coral trout and sambal, then cook for 2 minutes, until the fish begins to change colour.
3 Mix in the snake beans and palm sugar and cook for 1 more minute, then fold in the shallots and herbs. Serve with rice and lime.
