Hunger is the best cook, and that's just so true! I've been craving for Asian flavors in the past days, so yesterday I sort of cooked the mother of today's lunch. Originally, I wanted to combine prawns with a juicy mango, but I changed my mind. In a way I rediscovered shiitake, I must say that I didn't liked it at all, so I felt it is time to give the mushroom a new chance. What a great idea it was! For this quick stir fry you only need a couple of ingredients and only a few minutes in the kitchen. Personally, I think the less ingredients the better stir fry you get. Of course it should be hot, but not that kind that makes you wrap up the fridge's door for a glass of cold milk.
Ingredients:
2-4 prawns per person
2 medium onions
100 g bean sprouts
8 shiitake mushroom
200 g asian noodles (any type you fancy)
2 cm ginger
2 cloves garlic
4-5 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
pinch of sugar and a few splash of rice vinegar if desired
ground chili or chili sauce as desired
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Prepare
the noodles according the instructions on the package. Cut mushroom and
onion in slices, and rinse prawns with cold water. Heat oil in a wok
and add grated ginger and garlic and stir fry prawns for about 2
minutes, then set aside. Now add mushroom, onion and bean sprouts and
fry for another 2 minutes. Add the sauces, put back the prawns and after
a minute or two add the noodles. Season with a pinch of sugar, rice
vinegar and chilisauce as needed. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before
serving.
