The recipe for the home version of braised prawns in oil is as follows:
1. Prepare ingredients including prawns, onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, tomato sauce, vegetable oil, etc. Clean the prawns thoroughly, remove the shrimp line, shrimp spear, and shrimp whiskers, and marinate with cooking wine and ginger slices for 15-30 minutes to remove the fishy smell. Cut scallions into sections, slice ginger, and minced garlic for later use.
2. Heat the oil until it reaches 70-80% hot, then add the prawns and fry until both sides turn red before removing. Leave the base oil in the pot, add scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then add tomato sauce and stir fry well. Put the fried prawns into a pot, add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, and an appropriate amount of water. Stir fry evenly and cover with a lid. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes to allow the prawns to fully absorb the flavor of the seasonings.
3. When the soup is thick and the color of the prawns is bright red, turn on high heat and reduce the sauce. Quickly stir fry a few times to coat the prawns with a thick layer of sauce. Finally, sprinkle with chopped scallions or cilantro for decoration, then serve on a plate and enjoy.
During the production process, the amount of seasoning can be adjusted according to personal taste to achieve the best taste.
