Prawns with Oyster Sauce

Prawns with Oyster Sauce. Here is a good stir fry recipe for prawns or large shrimp that is fairly easy and a never go wrong recipe. I have cooked a similar recipe before using a black bean sauce called Prawns with Black Bean Sauce. Now with the recipe today instead of using black bean sauce I used oyster sauce instead. As I mentioned making the dish is fairly simple it is a basic stirfry cooking method. Here is the recipe of my Prawns with Oyster Sauce.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo large to medium size prawns, shelled, deveined
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 thumb size ginger, cut into thin strips
3-4 stalks leeks or large spring onions, cut into diagonal sections
2 small size bell pepper, cut into strips
1-2 tbsp. corn starch
salt to taste
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

In a wok sauté garlic, ginger and onion until fragrant. Add in the prawns and continue to stifry for 3 to 5 minutes or until color start to change to orange. Now add in the oyster sauce and about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water, continue to stir cook for about a minute. Add in the bell pepper and leeks and stir cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Correct saltiness if required. Thicken sauce with cornstarch diluted in 1/4 cup of water. Serve hot with a lot of rice.
