Prawn Recipe

Directions

  • Heat the oil over high heat in a large skillet, add half the prawns, sear until golden, then transfer to a small bowl. Repeat with the rest of the prawns.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and heat the sesame oil.
  • Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chilli flakes. Stir-fry until garlic goldens.
  • Add water, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir, increase the heat to high and simmer until the sauce thickens to a syrup consistency.
  • Add the prawns into the skillet and toss to coat the prawns evenly. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Lastly, garnish with sesame seeds, green onion, and red chillies.

Make Your Adjustments

If you’d like to increase or decrease the spice level, adjust the number of chilli flakes. However, if you’d like a non-spicy version, you can replace the chilli flakes and Sriracha with 30ml of ketchup, 15ml of rice vinegar, and 15ml of Shaoxing wine. Also, feel free to use frozen or fresh prawns; both will taste amazing. On a side note, you can use toasted and untoasted sesame oil. The results are very similar.
