How to Make Hot Chilli Prawns
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch minced ginger, and 2-3 red chilies (finely chopped – adjust to your spice preference), and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant and chilies darken slightly.
- Add 250g prawns (shelled and deveined) and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until pink and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornflour (plus 1 extra teaspoon if needed for thicker sauce) with 2 tablespoons of boiling water to form a smooth slurry.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the wok with the prawns. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice and season to taste.
- Garnish with 2 spring onions (finely chopped) and 1 tablespoon chopped coriander. Serve immediately with rice.
