Steamed Prawns on Glass Noodles is simply delicious. I first had this in a dim sum restaurant when I was on holiday. I came back and cooked it a few times, improving each time so that it is similar to the one I ate.
Ingredients:
- 40 g glass noodles (before soaking), soaked in cold water till it is soft. (Do not over-soak.)
- 6 pcs large white prawns, washed and de-vein
- 1 stalk coriander, cut into 1 to 2 inch length
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper powder
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- Cooking oil
- Steamer with water
- Small pot of water
Instructions
- Prepare a steamer with boiling water.
- Boil some water in a pot. Blanch the glass noodles in the boiling water. Remove them immediately and place them on a steaming plate.
- Arrange the prawns on top of the glass noodles.
- Spread the coriander on top.
- Add the seasonings - sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and white pepper powder and hot water into a bowl. Stir to mix them up.
- Pour the mixture over the prawns and glass noodles.
- Steam the prawns and glass noodles over high heat for 8 minutes (prawns will be over-cooked if steamed longer than this).
- Meanwhile, saute the garlic till fragrant. Remove and set aside.
- Once the prawns are cooked, remove them from the steamer.
- Sprinkle the sauteed garlic over it.
- Serve immediately.
