Sweet Sour Prawns
I was thinking of what to eat for Father’s Day - sort of to celebrate that special day. Earlier, Daddy told me that he and his colleagues went for Nasi Kandar and they ordered those huge fried prawns - but he did not get to eat any…poor thing. He is lucky that the regular fishmonger that I go to was selling those huge "XXL" prawns and they were really fresh. So, I bought 1/2Kg for RM24 (about 11 big prawns). Wash, trimmed the head and legs and I cooked them with the only way I know best - sweet and sour. This is how it looked…
Juicy Prawns with stir fry choy sum!
As long as the seafood is fresh, anyway of cooking it will be good - that is for sure.
Ingredients
Big fresh prawns (XXL size)
Old ginger - chopped
Garlic - chopped
Chilli padi - chopped (optional if you prefer a bit spicy)
Tauchu (fermented bean paste)
Spring onions (cut small)
Oil
Seasonings (all mixed)
Tomato sauce
Chilli sauce
Pepper
Apple cider vinegar
Chinese cooking wine
Method
-
Heat a little oil in wok and throw in the chopped garlic, ginger and chilli padi with tauchu. Stir fry until fragrant.
-
Put in the prawns and continue to stir fry - see that the prawns is all smeared with the garlic, ginger and chili padi paste.
-
Pour in the seasonigs and continue to stir.
-
Once the prawn is cooked, garnish with some spring onions and serve.
Daddy was really delighted and keeps telling me it was really yummy cause the prawns are very fresh. The meats are crunchy and juicy, and since the prawns are huge - there is really a lot of meat there. I think he ate 7 prawns that nite…hahaha! This plate of prawns cost us about RM25+….but if we ate outside, it is probably double the price and I doubt we can even get such big prawns. Eating at home is fun as well as we do not get people starring at us while we slowly peel and suck on those juicy prawns…hehehe
