Yalo. Normally restaurant one more dry one and mine was like a bit wet and the nestum all like stick to the sugar.

So I was thinking the sugar too much and the nestum shd add more.

But the taste no bad la.

So, for those that wanna try this recipe, I advise to cut down the sugar and add more nestum lo :)

I cooked nestum prawn for the 2nd time last friday, but didn't take the photo cos hb not around. But this time very nice and the look really like those reataurant one. The recipe need to be modified abit from the original one. Those in red color is the revised recipe

This is my favourite dish.... I googled for the recipe and want to share it with you all...

I havent tried it out yet...

15 big prawns 25 medium prawn(around 250g)

3 table spoon margerine

2 stalks curry leaves (sliced) I put 3 stalks

3 chilli padi (sliced)---if u like extra hot..then add more chilli padi

5 table spoon Nestum---can add more nestum if u like I put 9 Tbsp

2 table spoon sugar I cut it to 1.5 Tbsp only

2 cups oil

salt to taste

Cooking instructions: (Marinade the prawn with abit of salt)

1. heat oil in wok..

2. fried prawn for 4 minutes...

3. then remove the prawns and place it on cooking tissue to drain the oil...

4. melt the margerine in the wok....

5. then add the chilli padi and curry leaves...

6. saute for a while before adding in the prawns...

7. add sugar and salt...and mix well...

8. then add in the nestum and mix well again for few minutes...then remove and serve....This must be fast, add in nestum and stir until even then can take out from wok already, else the nestum will be too soft and wet.

Hmm yummy.... i think we can use chicken or cod fish etc as well. But the cod fish should be difficult to cook la coz it will break into small pieces when u stir....

Dear all, 1 question, when you say '4. melt the margerine in the wok....'

Do you mean in a new wok (without oil), or melt into the wok which is with the oil u used to fry the prawns just now ah???!

Thank you!

U may need to scoop the oil up tat u had used to fry the prawns.. or else the dish will be too oily!.. after that u can re-use back the same wok n melt the margarine in slow fire.. happy trying!! :lol:
