Stir-fried snow peas with prawns

As a homecook, at times I too run out of ideas or too lazy to think of what to cook; or nearing to the end of the week and my kitchen is running out of food; or too busy to go marketing, etc...

When I am in such a situation I will normally take a peek in my fridge, grab whatever items I can find, mix and match the ingredients, and there it goes...  a plate of stir-fried green peas with prawns.



Few simple steps:

  1. Wash the snow pea and pull off the tough string that runs along the side of the pod.  Set aside.
  2. For the prawns, remove shell, devein and set aside.
  3. 1 shallot, peel and thinly sliced.
  4. 2 garlic cloves, peel and chopped.  (sometimes I will use sliced garlic)
  5. In a medium heated wok, add 1 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil, saute the shallots and garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add in the snow peas and give it a few quick stir, then move the peas to the side of the wok, add in the prawns, stir-fry and mix in the peas.
  7. Add some water, stir to mix.
  8. Season with dashes of chicken stock granules, stir well to mix, taste for correct seasoning and once the peas is cooked, off the heat and dish onto a serving plate.  The doneness of the snow peas depends on individuals.  Some prefers it soft, while others prefers it crunchy.  So, cook it according to your family's liking.
