During the old times, like the post-world war eras, the Malays had very little ingredients in their pantry, hence the vegetables would be cooked with only local ingredients that could be found easily like coconut milk or simply water. Thus, most of the Malays' way of cooking vegetables at that time would be with coconut milk or water. Even though this style of cooking is still practiced until now, as time progresses, we have incorporated into our kitchen other methods as well, like the stir fry which is very much influenced by the Chinese. So, today I would like to share with you this simple stir fry technique which is not complicated at all that most of us have in our homes now. Enjoy!
Ingredients
500 gm fresh prawns, cleaned and marinade with turmeric powder and salt
2 handful green beans, sliced thinly
3 garlic, finely chopped
1 big onion, sliced thinly
2 inches ginger, thinly sliced
2 fresh red chillies, cut as you wish
pepper
salt, to taste
oil, for frying
Methods
1. In a frying pan, pour some oil. When the oil is hot, put in the big onion, ginger and garlic. Stir well.
2. When the mixture has caramelized, add in the fresh prawns. Stir for a minute before adding in the beans, salt and pepper up to taste.
3. Cook for about another minute before serving.
*Do not overcook the prawns and beans.
*serves 4-6 people
