Simple Cooking Ideas

Here is a delicious prawn dish that is fast and quick to cook. Big size prawns are more expensive. I prefer the medium size prawns which my grandchildren love to peel off their shell easily.

To ensure freshness, choose the prawn which is firm and its head and shell is firmly attached. Clean the prawns and cut a slit on top of prawns and slowly pull out the veins. Keep aside.

Ingredients:

500 gm medium size fresh prawns, clean and deveined with shells on.
3 tablespoon cooking oil
Half rice bowl water
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon black soya sauce
3 pips garlics, minced
1 tablespoon cornflour mixed with 1 tablespoon
some cucumber slices and coriander leaves.

Method:

Season prawns with black soya sauce, oyster sauce and sugar. Put aside for 10 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a wok. When the oil is hot, add in the prawns. Keep frying till the prawns are cooked. Dished out and put aside. Add remainder 1 tablespoon oil and saute the garlic until fragrant. Put the prawns in and add in half bowl water. Cook until it boils. Thicken the gravy with mixed cornflour. Scoop out prawns and garnish with coriander leaves. Line the dish with slices of cucumbers. Serve with hot rice.
