Description

10-minute tiger prawns in garlic ginger soy sauce is juicy, tender and immersed in incredible Asian flavours. It's the perfect weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 15 large tiger prawns, deveined, rinsed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add tiger prawns and stir to coat with oil. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure even cooking on all sides.
  2. Stir in cooking wine and continue to stir for 15 seconds. Stir in soy sauce and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in sugar, pepper (optional) and water. Turn heat to high, cover and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Turn heat down to low, give the prawns a final stir, ensuring that the sauce is coating prawns completely. Remove from heat. (Note: prawns will be done once they are evenly coloured and have shrunk in size but are no longer getting smaller).
  5. Serve with some cilantro on top.
