Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the prawns and spread it out into a single layer without overlapping. Cook until the bottom turns golden, 1 minute or so. Flip to cook the other side until just cooked, 1 minute or so. Transfer the prawns to a large plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and ginger. Stir a few times to release fragrance. Add the carrot. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until just softened.
Add the asparagus. Cook until just starting to soften, 1 minute or so.
Stir the sauce again to fully dissolve the cornflour and pour it into the pan. Add back the cooked prawns. Stir a few times until it thickens.
Return the prawns to the pan and stir to coat everything well. Transfer everything to a big plate and serve hot as a main dish.
