Ingredients
- 500 g large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 150 g snow peas
- 3 stalks spring onions, chopped
- 1 small red chili, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over high heat.
Add the prawns to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked prawns to the wok. Stir in the sauce mixture and sliced red chili (if using). Add 2 tablespoons of water to help the sauce coat the ingredients evenly.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
