Garlic Basil Hot Wok Prawns.

Sea Prawns, 海虾 (Market price: $12 per kg)

Finally done a decent enough cooking of the Hot Wok Prawns! So hot the wok transformed the prawn shells whitish; so hot i don't dare lift the wok cover that shielded me from the blistering content; so hot my hands burning from hovering over the opened wok. And yes, this should be the way.

Mum had been arranging for my cooking of the prawns, it seems she likes them. Every time she sees nice prawns on the market, she would buy and ask if i had like to cook them. Having failed in 2 previous attempts, i was unreceptive to the task.

Today, i did it and am glad.


The only difference of today's recipe to the Garlic Hot Wok Prawns done previously was the addition of Basil. I had stir fried Basil together with minced Garlic, infusing the aroma into the oil.

It was a good try. And i'll be looking forward to more recipe incorporating use of Basil leaves when my little garden Basil plant thrives ;)
