Stir-Fried Prawns - Hong Kong Style image

From the *Carnival Creations* cookbook by Cyrus Marfatia (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) comes this recipe described in the intro as a "Stir-fry favorite that requires just a bit of chopping plus quick wok cooking to provide a complete meal". (Time was estimated & does not include the 20 min to marinate the prawns. The wok cooking time is very fast & I allowed 20 min for ingredient prep) *Enjoy* !

I'm allergic to prawns, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was still really good!

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout.

This recipe is missing some important ingredients. I had to add garlic and ginger to make it taste right.

I followed the recipe exactly and the prawns turned out overcooked. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
