Recently, Rosamond (2nd sister) told Mama Tay she wished to eat prawns. Mama Tay promises her I'm going to cook for her under her supervision as well.
Sighhhh.
Honestly, I hated to prepare the prawns as the strong fishy odors will leave on the hands despite cleaning the hands for several times.
But at the end I cooked for her. I seldom say "NO" to Mama Tay.
Mama Tay taught me cook 2 types of prawns, one cooked with egg while the another with tamarind paste.
During February 2016 Kuching trip, Mama Tay saw our cousins cook stir fry prawns with egg in the welcome dinner. Besides that, a relative of mine gave stir fry crabs with eggs for us. All these inspired her to cook this dish.
Ingredients
1. Heat the wok with oil and put some garlic & shallots for fragrance purpose
2. Stir fried the prawns until the prawns turned to pink colors
3. Pour the egg above the prawns
4. Stir fried prawns and eggs together
5. Once the eggs was done, transfer to plate.
Done. It served with white rice
2) Stir-Fried Prawns with Tamarind
It was one of the dish that I ate when I grown up. It always appeared in our dining table. I used to had 2 bowl of rices with stir-fried prawns with tamarind because it able to increase my appetite. Tamarind gave the prawns sour and bold taste.
Simple ingredients. The tamarind either fresh tamarind or tamarind paste in the supermarket could be used. I chose the tamarind paste from the supermarket
Tamarind juice by adding a cup of water. If you prefer strong sour flavor, put little water was good enough
Like usual, heat the oil, adding shallots & garlic, prawns and cook until pink
After that, pour the tamarind juice without the seeds. According to Mama, you're allowed to add more water with the seeds again in case the prawns was too sour.
Voila.
