Kung Po Prawns
This Kung Po Prawns recipe brings together plump prawns with crunchy peanuts, spicy chillies, and aromatic ginger and garlic, all coated in a savory-sweet sauce. The prawns get a quick cornflour marinade to keep them tender, then a fast sear in a hot wok. The sauce thickens as it simmers, coating every piece beautifully. It's a quick dish, coming together in under 20 minutes, making it a good option for a weeknight meal served with rice.
