Prawn Stir Fry

Let's cook

1. 1

   Dry the prawns thoroughly

   Pat the prawns completely dry with kitchen paper. Wet prawns steam and turn grey instead of searing.

   💡

   Surface water is the enemy. Dry them properly.

2. 2

   Mix the sauce first

   Whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water and set it beside the hob.

3. 3

   Sear the prawns and remove

   Cook the prawns in 2 tbsp oil over the highest heat for 90 seconds a side until just pink. Remove immediately — they finish later.

   💡

   Prawns overcook in seconds. Pull them the moment they curl into a loose C.

4. 4

   Cook the vegetables

   Add the remaining oil, then the pepper for 2 minutes and the mangetout for 1 minute, keeping everything moving.

5. 5

   Aromatics late

   Add the garlic, ginger, and chilli for 30 seconds only.

6. 6

   Combine and sauce

   Return the prawns, pour the sauce around the rim of the pan, and toss for 45 seconds until it thickens and coats. Finish with scallions.
