I think all Vietnamese love this dish, it goes so well with hot steam rice and some pickle vegetables and so easy, so fast to cook. You can apply this recipe for either shrimps or prawns. If you choose prawns then you should peel them. I like the small shrimps which can find only sometimes in the local market, the ones they get from the river, not the farm ones, taste much better
Ingredients:
- 200 g of shrimps or prawns
- 1 tsp turmeric powder (for both better flavor and nicer color after cook)
- 1 tsp of dark soya sauce
- 1 tsp of fish sauce
- 1 tbs of cooking oil
- a pinch of sugar
- Garlic and ginger, as you wish
Method:
Heat the oil, saute the garlic and ginger till flavor, add turmeric then the shrimps and stir constantly till it is a little bit dry then add sugar, continue to stir in low heat till it is dry, add soya sauce and fish sauce, then cook till the prawns are dry. Serve hot with steam rice.
