How to Make Basil prawns Stir Fry

Ingredients:

Serves 2

200g Tiger Prawns
1/3 Cup Onion
1/3 Cup sweet Chilli slices
4 Thai Chillies
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Spring Onions
10-12 Holy Basil Leaves
2 tbs Oil
1 tbs Fish Sauce
1 tbs Seasoning Sauce
1/2 ts Sugar
2 tbs Oyster Sauce
3 tbs Water

Preparation:

Wash, cut and slice open the prawns to remove the gut See Prawns Thai Style Video for how to prepare prawns Thai style (free members)

Cut up a 1/3 of a medium sized onion and the sweet chilli and leave

Cut spring onion about (1" logs)

Pick holy basil leaves from the stems and rinse, leave to drain dry

Slice or chop the garlic and Thai chillies (or pound)

Cooking:

Pour the oil into a wok and heat to medium high heat

Add chillies and garlic, stir fry until a good aroma comes (usually 5-10 seconds if oil is right temp)

Add the pawns and stir fry for about 2 minutes adding the water

Add fish sauce, seasoning sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, onion and sweet chillies

Stir fry together for about 2 minute test for good savoury sweet, flavour

Add holy basil stir fry for 1 minute and remove from heat

Serving Suggestion:

Lightly pack a bowl of hot jasmine rice and invert onto a plate, serve the prawns and holy basil along side and voila! A great dish to have with this would be our Pork Stuffed Omelette Recipe or Thai Steamed Eggs Recipe, both of which with counter the spicy prawns beautifully. Of course there's nothing to stop you having something a bit more meaty like our Barbecue Spare Ribs or Thai Sweet Chicken Recipe
