Step-by-step directions

1 In a saucepan, pour the white wine, salt then add the turmeric and Soissons beans, cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and let sit for about an hour (for flavor absorption).

2 In a frying pan pour a little olive oil, and add your mushrooms, cook for 5 minutes, salt lightly (sparingly) then add the ginger and rice vinegar, then turn off the heat and cover for about 1 hour.

3 Then after this time, drain your beans and arrange them harmoniously in a rosette pattern in a nice round dish, place your prawns on top, scatter a few strips of red peppers then your mushrooms nicely arranged around.
