Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 pieces bird's eye chilies, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams snow peas, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 cups steamed rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they just turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chilies (if using). Cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously, until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice until the sugar dissolves.
Return the prawns to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over them and the vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the stir fry from heat and sprinkle with chopped coriander (cilantro) and sliced green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.
