2. Easy Soy Sauce Prawn Recipe

The soy sauce prawn was a popular dish on the menu of many Cantonese restaurants that served seafood. In this recipe, the soy sauce is used to enhance the umami taste of the prawn.

This recipe calls for prawns that are at least 9cm long (excluding the head).

Ingredients

5kg fresh prawns (at least 9cm in length)
75ml (1/4 tsp and 1 tbsp of light soy sauce)
10g (0.3 oz) sugar, preferably finely ground Chinese rock sugar
Dark soy sauce in 10ml (2tsp).
20ml (4tsp.) of cooking oil
Finely chopped spring onions
Finely chop some garlic

Step 2

Cut off and throw away the sharp rostrum on the tip of the prawn’s head. Trim off the long, thin antennae. Use a small, sharp knife to cut a slit down the middle of the back. This will expose the dark vein. The prawns can be dried with paper towels.

Step 2.

Slice the garlic in half. Spring onion, minced.

Step 4

Stir until sugar dissolves. Add the light soy sauce to a small pan over medium heat. Stir in dark soy sauce and then turn the heat off. Add butter. Stir the pan until all the ingredients are combined.

Step 4.

Add 10ml (2 tsp.) of cooking oil to the pan. Remember the order in which you placed them. After the last prawn is added, turn them in the same order as they were placed.

Step 5

Pour the sauce mixture into the pan once you’ve turned the last prawn over. Bring to a boil. Then turn the prawns again. Turn off the heat after turning the last prawn. The sauce should be thick and glossy, with a light coating on the prawns. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on the prawns before removing them from the pan.
