STIR-FRY PRAWNS / SHRIMPS WITH VEGETABLES AND FRESH THAI NOODLES
This recipe started off as a chicken salad but I wanted something warmer and I had raw green prawns at home so it ended off as a stir-fry. For the noodles I used Fresh Thai Noodles which are yellow in colour and flat, I purchase them in the fridge section of the supermarket. I ate the stir-fry the next day for lunch and the flavours really enhanced. Enjoy

For this recipe, I used House of Tsang brand stir-fry sauce. If you're cooking this for people who don't like spicy food, you can use any other stir-fry sauce you like. Also, if you don't like shrimp, you can substitute it for chicken. Enjoy!

Tips:
- To make the Szechuan Prawns/Shrimps, begin by marinating the prawns in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, salt, and egg whites to yield tender and flavorful prawns. - For an authentic Szechuan flavor, use Pixian Doubanjiang (Sichuan chili bean paste) and high-quality soy sauce, as these ingredients are essential for achieving the characteristic taste. - Do not let the prawns marinate for longer than 30 minutes, as over-marinating them may result in a mushy texture. - Use a large pan or wok to stir-fry the prawns, as this will prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. - Stir-fry the prawns over high heat to sear them quickly and lock in their juices, resulting in succulent and tender prawns. - Do not stir the prawns constantly during stir-frying, as this may break them up. Instead, gently toss and shake the pan to ensure even cooking. - Add the vegetables towards the end of the stir-frying process to retain their vibrant colors and crisp texture. - Serve the Szechuan Prawns/Shrimps immediately over rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.Conclusion:
