Prawns Swim in Tomato Sauce ala Bonsay

One evening, I was planning to cook ribs soup, when I heard my boyfriend saying he was defrosting some prawns. We had to cook it fast, because we suspected that the shop didn't sell fresh prawns, as it gone bad in a short period of time. So, before we wasted any food, I turned this prawns into Prawns Swim in Tomato Sauce. Happy cooking !! (Photos are coming)

Ingredients:

  • 350gr prawn (shell in-tact or no shell)
  • 2 red chillies/paprika (unseeded)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 roma tomatoes (roughly sliced)
  • 1tbs corn flour
  • 2tbs water

Sauce:
  • 125ml water
  • 2tbs ketchup/tomato sauce
  • 2tbs fish sauce
  • 1tsp sugar
  • 1/2tbs sweet soy sauce 
  • 1tbs shaoxing chinese cooking wine
  • salt to taste

Method:
  1. Combine the sauce in  a small bowl. Set aside
  2. In a wok, stir fry the onion until fragrant, add in garlic and red chillies
  3. Add in prawn, cook until the colour changed, then add in the tomatoes. Stir well
  4. Pour the sauce in the wok, and let the prawns absorb the taste from the sauce. Adjust the taste
  5. To thicken the sauce, combine the corn flour and water in a small container, and add in the wok bit by bit while you stir the prawns
  6. Serve it hot
Tips:
Try having the sauce on top of your rice, it will send you to a different dimension on how to enjoy your rice to the max
