Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce ((sub all purpose soy, Note 1))
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((sub Mirin or dry sherry, Note 2))
2 tsp oyster sauce ((Note 3))
1/2 tsp sesame oil (, toasted (Note 4))
1 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
1/8 tsp white pepper ((sub black pepper))
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp oil (, peanut, canola or vegetable)
250g / 8 oz medium prawns (, raw, peeled and deveined (equiv. 500g/1lb whole prawns, Note 5))
1/2 onion (, sliced, brown or white)
2 tsp ginger (, finely julienned (~2cm / 0.7" piece))
2 tsp garlic (, finely chopped (~ 2 cloves))
1 1/2 bunches broccolini (, trimmed, cut into 5cm / 2" lengths, (~1 1/2 cups. Sub normal broccoli))
120g / 4 oz snow peas (, thin string removed from both sides)

Steps:

  • Steam broccolini: Steam broccolini until crisp-tender, about 2 - 3 minutes (remember it will cook more in the stir fry). Set aside to drain and dry.
  • Stir Fry Sauce: Put all Stir Fry Sauce ingredients except water into a bowl. Mix until cornflour is dissolved. Then stir in water.
  • Cook then remove prawns: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Add prawns and spread them in a single layer. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute until cooked through. Try not to make the prawns too golden (they are only lightly browned in stir fries). Remove prawns to a bowl. Set aside.
  • Cook onion, garlic and ginger: Add more oil if the pan seems a bit dry. Still on medium-high heat, add onion and cook for 1 minute. Then add ginger and garlic and cook for another 1 minute until onion is starting to soften but not colour.
  • Add snow peas, then broccolini: Add snow peas and toss until coated with oil. Then add broccolini and toss through.
  • Add Sauce and thicken: Give the Sauce a stir (to dissolve cornflour settled at bottom), then pour into skillet. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens to syrup consistency (about 1 minute) and coats the ingredients nicely.
  • Add prawns back in: Then add the prawns back in (including any juices in the bowl). Toss for another 30 seconds until prawns are warmed through.
  • Serve: Serve with rice!

STIR-FRY PRAWNS / SHRIMPS WITH VEGETABLES AND FRESH THAI NOODLES



Stir-Fry Prawns / Shrimps With Vegetables and Fresh Thai Noodles image

This recipe started off as a chicken salad but I wanted something warmer and I had raw green prawns at home so it ended off as a stir-fry. For the noodles I used Fresh Thai Noodles which are yellow in colour and flat, I purchase them in the fridge section of the supermarket. I ate the stir-fry the next day for lunch and the flavours really enhanced. Enjoy
