Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the chicken stock or water to the pan and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute, or until the sauce thickens.
