Simmer peas, onion, and white wine in boiling water for 6 minutes until tender.

Mix butter and flour into a paste and stir into the peas to thicken.

Whisk flour, chilli, chives, salt, pepper, and sparkling water into a smooth batter.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan until a bread cube sizzles instantly.

Coat prawn pieces in batter and fry for 3 minutes until golden.

Drain fried prawns on kitchen paper.

Spoon peas onto a plate, top with prawns, and garnish with mint sprigs.
