Ingredients
- 5 eggs, beaten
- Salt, white pepper, MSG (or chicken powder), to season
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 6 large raw prawns, peeled, deveined
- A pinch bicarbonate soda
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 thin spring onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Combine the beaten eggs, a generous pinch of salt, pepper, MSG or stock powder and sesame oil in a medium bowl and whisk well to combine. In a second bowl, combine the prawns, a generous pinch of salt, bicarbonate soda, 1 tbsp oil, the cornflour mixture and mix well to combine.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan or large wok over high heat. Add the prawn mixture to the wok, and stir-fry to 2 minutes, or until nearly cooked, then use a slotted spoon to remove to a plate.
- Heat the remaining oil in the pan, then add the seasoned beaten eggs, mixing well in the wok, until the eggs begin to set. Slowly push the eggs away from the edges of the pan to the centre to scramble them and season with a pinch of salt. When the eggs are nearly completely set, return the prawns to the wok and mix gently to combine.
- Remove the stir-fried prawns and eggs to a serving plate and sprinkle with spring onions, then serve immediately.
