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:
- Wash the snow pea and pull off the tough string that runs along the side of the pod. Set aside.
- For the prawns, remove shell, devein and set aside.
- 1 shallot, peel and thinly sliced.
- 2 garlic cloves, peel and chopped. (sometimes I will use sliced garlic)
- In a medium heated wok, add 1 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil, saute the shallots and garlic until fragrant.
- 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.
- Add some water, stir to mix.
- 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.
