Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 1 lb raw prawns, peeled and deveined; 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips; 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed; 1 medium carrot, sliced into matchsticks; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sesame oil; 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water; 2 green onions, sliced

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry until smooth, then set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it starts to shimmer.

Add the prawns to the hot pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque, then immediately transfer them to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the same pan, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until highly fragrant but not browned.

Toss in the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot matchsticks, cooking for about 3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Pour the sauce mixture into the pan, return the cooked prawns and any accumulated juices, and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce bubbles and thickens.

Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and serve immediately over warm jasmine rice or noodles.
