Prawns with Black Bean Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 lb prawn
• 2 whole shallot
• 2 clove garlic
• 1 oz red bell pepper
• 0.5 oz white onion
• 0.5 oz ginger
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 4 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp Kikkoman® Black Bean Sauce with Garlic
• 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Oyster Sauce
• 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 0.25 tsp white pepper powder
• 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
• 1 tsp Kikkoman® Sesame Oil

Steps

1. 1

   Using kitchen shears, cut off half of each prawn’s head from the eyes forward, trimming off half of the head. Trim off the legs as well. This makes the prawns tidier for both a nicer look and a more convenient eating experience.

2. 2

   Peel and mince the shallots.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, prepare the sauce by combining black bean sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, white pepper powder, and Shaoxing wine. Give it a quick taste to see if you like it, or if it needs any adjustment.

4. 4

   Heat a flat wok or frying pan on high heat. When it’s hot enough, add oil and quickly swirl to coat.

5. 5

   Turn the heat to low and push the prawns to the edges of the wok.
