introduction

- my friend orders chinese takeaway on and off

- friend's usual order is king prawn with mixed chinese veggie and spring roll

- spring roll is deep fried stuff which is beyond my capability

- try to replicate a dish simply base on the name of it...........coz i hvnt tried this dish from that chinese takeaway

- types of mixed veggie opens to everything you prefer/ available in fridge

main ingredients/ 2 servings

- 6-8 x prawns <-- better buy prawns that are with shell, taste better

- mixed veggie ready pack

- carrot

- cucumber

- garlic

- shallot

- salt

- oyster sauce

- soy sauce

- maggi

steps

1. defrost frozen prawn, deshell and devein

2. use kitchen paper to absorb excess water content

3. season with a pinch of salt and white pepper powder

4. put in the fridge first

5. chop garlic, slice shallot, carrot and cucumber

6. pan fry prawn till almost done

7. add oil............pan fry garlic and shallot until fragrant

8. add carrot and stir fry for about 1 min.............then add the pack of mixed veggie

10. add cucumber...............then add salt, soy sauce and oyster sauce...........mixed well

11. add prawn.................mixed well....... switched off

12. last add maggi and sesame oil...............mix well

taste
-perfect to pair with jasmine rice

-home cook flavor

-just right seasoning for me (this time keep taste testing while stir fry to make sure it wont be under seasoned which is my usual mistake)..............luckily my friend likes it

-friend prefers my version coz less oily and less salty compared with chinese takeaway

areas of improvement

-i am quite happy with this attempt
