Prawns with Asparagus Stir-fry

I like this recipe, but have lowered the amount of soy sauce it originally asked for, also I prefer jalapaneos to red chili's.


1 kg prawns
1 tbsp. peanut oil
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 med. onion, sliced thinly
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped
1/2 fresh jalapaneo, seeded and sliced thin
2 tbsp rice wine
1/8 c. soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds


Shell and devein prawns, leave tail intact. Combine wine, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in small bowl. Set aside. Heat half the peanut oil in pan. Add giner, garlic and onion. Stir-fry a few minutes. Add asparagus stir-fry until tender. Remove from pan. Heat remaining peanut oil in same pan, add prawns. Cook until done. Return asparagus mixture to pan with the prawns. Add jalapaneos and wine/sauce mixture. Stir-fry several minutes until heated through. remove from pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve.

Serves 4.
Enjoy,
Myrna
