Stir-fried Yam Abacus in Char Kuay Tiaw Style

I have been so much tempted by this recipe which I came across online not that long ago.  I keep telling myself 'I must cook this dish!'  One morning while I was doing marketing, I manage to grab hold of these 3 main ingredients: prawns, Chinese chives and bean sprouts, and happily came home prepping this dish for my lunch.

Ingredients: (2 servings)
15 pcs Prawns (peeled and deveined)
5 sprigs Chinese leeks (washed and sliced into 1" long)
A bowl of bean sprouts (washed and drained)
3 shallots (peeled and thinly sliced)
3 garlic cloves (peeled and chopped)
3 tbsp Cooking oil

Abacus Seeds recipe refer here

Seasonings: (mix well in a small bowl)
1 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
Dash of dark soy sauce (for colour)
Dashes of chicken stock granules (to taste)
Dashes of water

Methods:

1. In  a pot of boiling water, add dashes of cooking oil, put in the abacus seeds, and once it floats to the surface, dish out with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. In a heated wok add cooking oil.  Fry the shallots until golden brown, fragrant and crispy.  Dish out the fried shallots and set aside.
3. Using the remaining oil saute the garlic and prawns until fragrant.
4. Add in bean sprouts and some seasoning mixture, mix well.
5. Add in yam abacus and the remaining of the seasonings and stir-fry well to combine.  More dashes of water can be added if the dish is too dry, but add bit by bit.
6. Add in the fried shallots and Chinese chives, stir fry to combine and taste for correct seasoning.
7. Off the heat, dish out and serve hot.
