Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 1 large Fresh mango (ripe but firm, diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely grated)
- 2 stalks Spring onions (sliced thinly, white and green parts separated)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, and cornstarch. Mix well to create the sauce base and set aside.
Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel and season with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and sauté for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the spring onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced mango to the pan and stir-fry gently for another 1-2 minutes to warm the mango.
Return the cooked prawns to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Sprinkle the green parts of the spring onions over the dish and give it a final stir.
Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or as a standalone dish. Enjoy your Cantonese Style Prawns with Mango!
