I am always on the prowl for interesting recipes that I can steam. When cooking a chinese meal, it is difficult to stir-fry more than one dish at a time. Steaming allows me to add additional courses that can cook in the backround. Ingredients:
3/4 lb prawns, deveined but in the shell |
2 tablespoons fermented black beans |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1 teaspoon rice wine |
1 teaspoon oyster sauce |
Directions:
1. Prepare the prawns by cutting along the top of the shell, and removing the sand vein. Leave the shell on because this keeps the prawns more tender, tasty and plump.
2. Wash, drain and place prawns in a heatproof dish that will fit in your steamer.
3. Wash black beans two times and mash into a paste with the chopped garlic.
4. Combine with remaining ingredients except sesame oil.
5. Pour mixture over the prawns then drizzle the sesame oil over the top.
6. Place in steamer and steam for 10 minutes.
