Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Tiger prawns, deveined and shell-on
- 300 grams Pak Choi, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, and chili flakes (if using) to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tiger prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add the pak choi and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted but still tender-crisp.
Return the prawns to the pan and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir quickly to coat the prawns and greens evenly, and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal.
