1 lb prawns, deshelled/deveined
4-5 slices of ginger, mincedspring onions [optional, garnish]
1 onion, minced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 TB chili powder
Vegetable oil (for frying + 1 TB)
Sauce:
2 TB ketchup
1 tsp sugar
1-2 TB soy sauce
1 TB oyster sauce
2-3 TB water
Using either a wok or a deep pan, heat up enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once warm, shallow fry the prawns--this should take about 5-6 minutes, or until the prawns are pink. Repeat as needed to finish the whole batch of prawns; set aside.
In a separate pan, pour in the 1 TB of vegetable oil. Once it reaches medium heat, add the onion and ginger until they are soft. With one minute left to go, add the garlic. If you cook it too long, it can burn. Mix all of the remaining ingredient for the sauce into the pan. Stir well.
Add the cooked prawns, spring onions, and chili powder (sometime to taste). Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Serve hot and delicious!!
