Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

300g raw king prawns
2 tbsp soy sauce
40g cornflour
sunflower oil, for deep-frying
handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped
cooked rice, to serve
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
100ml malt vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp tomato ketchup

Steps:

Tip the prawns in a bowl and mix with the soy, then set aside for a few minutes. Stir in the cornflour.
Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat to a depth of 3-4cm. When it's shimmering or a cooking thermometer reads 170C, fry the prawns in batches for about 2 mins until crisp and golden, turning them with a slotted spoon halfway through. Carefully lift onto a plate using the slotted spoon. Turn off the heat. Leave the pan for a few minutes to cool down.
Carefully pour all but 1 tbsp oil from the wok - keep the remainder for use in another recipe or discard.
Put the wok back on a high heat. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the onion and peppers, and stir-fry for 1 min. Add the garlic and ginger, and continue to cook for 30 seconds, then scatter over the sugar and pour in the vinegar. Turn up the heat and boil for 2 mins. Stir in the soy and ketchup to make a thick, glossy sauce. When you're ready to serve, tip the prawns back into the pan and stir to coat in the sauce. Scatter over the chopped coriander and serve with cooked rice on the side.

Tips:

Use fresh prawns. Fresh prawns are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen prawns. If you must use frozen prawns, thaw them completely before cooking.
Marinate the prawns before cooking. Marinating the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will help to add flavor and prevent them from drying out during cooking.
Cook the prawns quickly over high heat. Prawns cook very quickly, so it is important to cook them over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
Do not overcook the prawns. Overcooked prawns will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
Serve the prawns immediately. Prawns are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ketchup prawns are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your ketchup prawns are flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give ketchup prawns a try!
