Do you like to eat prawns?
Besides prawn fritters, prawn omelette, you can also make a prawn stir-fry for your lunchbox! This is cooked in a blend of Asian sauces, and it has a slightly sweet taste which goes really well with the onions.
Ingredients (Serves 3 adults):
- 10 medium prawns
- 1 red onion, sliced
- Cooking oil
Ingredients for Asian dark sauce:
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/3 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions:
Step 1: Wash the prawns, trim off the feelers and legs, but keep the shell intact. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2: Put all the ingredients for the Asian dark sauce in a separate bowl. Blend well. It is easier to prepare this in advance.
Step 3: Heat up a wok or pan with oil to fry the prawns. When cooked, remove them and set aside on another paper towel to drain the oil.
Step 4: Leave about 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok or pan for the stir-fry. Add in onion slices. Saute them till they are soft.
Step 5: Transfer the prawns back in the wok or pan and add in the blended Asian dark sauce. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes till the sauces are absorbed and coated evenly on each prawn. If you think the sauce is too thick, add in 1-2 tablespoons of water. It’s now ready to serve.
