Beautiful fresh prawns need very little to accompany them. It has taken me many, many years to learn that sometimes simple is best.
We recently ate at a local Chinese restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed lamb with a similar sauce, which led me to thinking it would be nice with beautiful fresh prawns.
Sauce
How to?
In a medium hot wok, heat the oil and add the garlic and ginger until aromatic, add stock and rice wine simmer gently for 10 - 15 minutes to infuse the flavours. Add 1/2 the spring onion and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the prawns and toss until warmed through.
It's that easy!
Serve with Jasmine rice and steamed greens.
