Directions

Method for making Chili Prawn (Shrimp)

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat and sear shrimps for 45 seconds on each side. Remove them from the pan and set them aside. Ensure that the shrimps are cooked halfway through.
  2. In the same skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat and sauté ginger, garlic, and chili flakes until the garlic becomes fragrant or slightly golden.
  3. When the garlic has turned brown, add water, sweet chili sauce, and soy sauce without delay. Reduce the flame to low and let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  4. Once the sauce has thickened, reintroduce the seared shrimps back into the skillet and stir for a minute. This will ensure that the sauce mixes thoroughly with the shrimps and coats them evenly.
  5. Remove from the skillet and garnish with green onions. Serve hot with rice

Method for making Pickled Cucumber

  1. Thinly slice the cucumber and allow it to soak in salt for a duration of 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse the cucumber thoroughly with an ample amount of water until all the salt has been removed.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the cucumber with the dressing ingredients.
  4. Ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together to create a well-blended mixture.
  5. The pickled cucumber is now ready and can be served as a side dish with rice.
