Ingredients




225 grams prawns preferably uncooked
sauce
70 ml chicken stock
2 teaspoons dry sherry or rice wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar or Chinese black rice 2 tablespoons spring onions finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon tsp cornflour blended with ½  water

Preparation

1 Peel the prawns and if you are using large uncooked ones cut them to remove the fine digestive cord. 2 Wash the prawns and pat them dry with kitchen paper. 3 Combine the sauce ingredients in a wok or large frying pan. 4 Bring it to a simmer and then add the prawns. 5 Braise the prawns slowly over a low heat for 34 minutes. 6 This is one of the simplest prawn recipes in Chinese cookery. It takes only minutes to prepare. If you are using cooked prawns reduce the cooking time so the prawns just heat through. 7 Serves 4
