🦐 Braised prawns in scallion oil

4 servings · prep 20 min · cook 15 min

Ingredients

• 700 g large whole prawns
• 6 spring onions
• 1 piece of ginger, sliced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 6 tbsp neutral oil
• Salt, pepper

Method

1. Trim the antennae and slit the backs to remove the vein, but leave the shells on: they carry all the flavour.
2. Fry the cut spring onion and ginger 5 min in the oil over low heat, until golden and the oil is fragrant. Lift them out.
3. Turn the heat up and sear the prawns 2 min per side in that oil: they should turn bright red.
4. Pour the rice wine down the side of the pan, then add the soy sauce and sugar.
5. Add half a glass of water, cover and braise 5 min.
6. Uncover, reduce the sauce until it coats, return the fried spring onion and serve with white rice.
