Stir-Fried Prawns and Broccoli

0 comments

Quite honestly I am starting to run out of ideas for one-dish meal and because now that I am starting to get more organised when it comes to meal preparation, I do find myself attempting to put together a typical home-cooked Chinese meal more frequently, that consists of rice and 2 or 3 dishes.

This is an idiot-proof recipe that can be easily whipped up and taste like something you order from a Chinese restaurant. In my opinion, anything that has oyster sauce usually won't go wrong....


Ingredients:

  • 1 kg prawn (peeled and de-veined, with tail left intact) 
  • 3 cloves of garlic (diced) 
  • 1 kg broccoli (cut into florets) 
  • 1/2 cup of water 
  • 1 tbsp cornflour 
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce 
  • 2 tablespoon light soy sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil 


Preparation:

  • Combine cornflour with water and mix to a smooth paste. 
  • Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce and sesame oil to cornstarch and mix well. 
  • Partially blanch broccoli in boiling water and set aside to drain Heat oil in wok and stir-fry prawns with some garlic. 
  • Remove prawns from wok when it is about 80% done and set aside. 
  • Add remaining garlic and broccoli to wok and stir-fry broccoli. 
  • Pour cornflour mixture to the wok and mix through. 
  • Add prawns and cook until heated through. 
  • Serve hot with rice.
