Ingredients for Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli and Prawns (for 2 people):
- Chinese Broccoli: about 350 g (I normally use ¼ package)
- Prawns: 8 to 10
- Garlic: 2 to 3 cloves
- Ginger: 1 piece
- Shaoxing Cooking Wine: 1 tablespoon (or White Wine)
- Soy Sauce: 1 teaspoon
- Hot Chilli Pepper: 1
- Salt and Black Pepper
- Vegetable Oil: 1.5 tablespoons
>>> What is “Shaoxing Cooking Wine”?
Preparation:
- Rinse Chinese broccoli, cut them in 3 parts and split the thick stem so that you can shorten the cooking time
- Chop up the garlic and ginger, hot chili pepper
- Shell the prawns
How to Cook Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli and Prawns:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok
2. Add chopped garlic and ginger
3. Add the prawn and Shaoxing cooking wine (or white wine), cook on a medium heat until they change colour
4. Add Chinese broccoli stems and cook until they turn into a vivid green colour, stir them occasionally
5. Add Chinese broccoli leaves and add salt
＊Note:
You don’t have to stir too much here. When you add the Chinese broccoli leaves on top of the prawns and the broccoli stems it acts as a lid to steam and adding the salt on the leaves allows the vegetable juice to come out.
6. After cooking for a while, turn up to a high heat and rapidly stir.
7. Add the chili pepper, season with salt and black pepper and serve.
