Wok-fried Prawns with Soy Sauce and Evaporated Milk

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash prawns and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Ensure they are very dry to prevent splashing when stir-frying.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and Shaoxing wine. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat cooking oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add prawns and stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes until they turn orange and almost cooked through. Remove prawns from wok and set aside.

4. 4

   Add a little more oil to the wok if needed. Add ginger slices and minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant.

5. 5

   Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

6. 6

   Return the prawns to the wok. Add evaporated milk and scallion lengths. Toss quickly to coat the prawns evenly with the sauce.

7. 7

   Cook for another 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the prawns beautifully. Serve immediately.
