Treat your ingredients with care...

• Prawns — Make sure to devein the prawns properly to remove any grit or sand. This can be done by making a shallow cut along the back of the prawn and removing the dark vein.
• Chinese rice wine — If you don't have Chinese rice wine, you can substitute it with dry sherry or sake for a similar flavor profile.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add more chili or sprinkle some chili flakes on top before serving.
• Serve the Drunken Prawn Stir-Fry with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and add it to the pan during the last minute of cooking to thicken the sauce.
