Category:Wok Chinese
Serves:2
Cooking Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 large King Prawns, cooked shelled
  • Bamboo Skewers

Marinade

  • 1 x 15ml spoon Palm Sugar
  • 125ml Soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 90ml Rice Vinegar
  • 125ml Mirin or alternatively white sherry
  • 25gm Rice Flour
  • 2 cloves Garlic (fine dice)
  • 2 Finely shredded lime leaves
  • Sprinkle Sesame Seeds
  • Fresh red chilli peppers

Method

To make the marinade

  • Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 24 hours
  • Mix the ingredients in a shallow dish
  • Thread the Prawns onto the skewers in a overlapping fashion. 
  • Place the skewers into the sauce and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, although overnight is preferable.

To cook skewers

  • Prepare moderate-hot charcoal coals or preheat a frying pan
  • Cook the skewered prawns, turning several times and basting with the marinade, until crispy on the outside but still moist on the inside, about 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle skewers with lime leaf fine strips and garnish with sesame seeds.

Chef's Cooking Tip

  • When using fresh chillies take care, use gloves, when tasting if it starts to burn too much squeeze on fresh lime to reduce the heat.

Chef's Serving Suggestion
