SEASONINGS

Cut off the prawns barbels and feet. Cut open each prawn back. Remove the black digestive cord. Heat ¼ cup of oil in a pan. Cook the prawns over a low flame. When 1 side is cooked, turn the prawns over to cook the other side. Remove when the prawns are well done. Put the cooked prawns in water with some minced ginger. Bring to a boil. Remove and drain. Put the remaining oil in a wok. Stir-fry spring onion, ginger, and garlic for a few seconds. Add tomato sauce and Chili Nam Yuey. Mix well. Add wine, salt, soy sauce, sugar, soup stock and the prawns. Bring to a boil. Lower the flame and simmer till there's almost no liquid left. Thicken with cornstarch paste and serve. Note: The boiling step is necessary to remove the oil attached to the grilled prawns to allow the seasonings to be absorbed. From The Chinese Regional Cuisine Series, Szechuan Cooking.
