茄汁哈哈虾球 (Tomato Prawns)

My son loves to eat seafood. He has food allergies but thank God he is not allergic to seafood. I usually buy prawns from the wet market. They are fresh and reasonably priced (except CNY period). If you choose a prawn dish from the zi char stall or a restaurant, it is usually costly with "limited" numbers of prawns. This is one of my son's favourite dish - Tomato Prawns. 茄汁哈哈虾球, 儿子吃了笑哈哈!

Tomato Prawns
Ingredients:
- 10 to 12 prawns
- 1 big white onion
- 1 yellow and/or red, green capsicum
- 1 tomato
- Chopped garlic (I do not add as my son is sensitive to garlic taste.)

Sauce:
- Tomato sauce 2 tbsp
- Raw sugar 1 tbsp
- Olive oil 1 tsp
- Sea salt a pinch
- Pepper a dash
(Mix all together & set aside)

Method:
1) Deshelled the prawns, make a cut but do not cut it completely, remove the intestine.
2) Boil for 1 minute, drain.
3) Cut tomato, capsicum and onion into thin wedges.
4) Heat up wok & oil. Lightly browned the garlic.
5) Stir fry the capsicum, onion, tomato(added last) till softness according to own liking. If too dry, add a bit of water.
6) Pour sauce, bring to boil, add a bit of corn starch water to thicken the sauce.
7) Put in prawns, quick stir. Once prawns are cooked, off fire. Do not overcook the prawns.

Tip:
To get crunchy prawns, rub it with a little salt, leave it for 2 to 3 minutes, rinse it off with cold tap water.
