Sweet and Sour Prawns

 

Ingredients:

 

8 oz Cooked and peeled prawns

1 tbsp Corn flour

4 tbsp Orange Juice

1 tbsp Soya Sauce

1 tbsp Brown Sugar

1 tbsp Cider Vinegar

½ tbsp Ground Ginger

2 tsp Oil

1 tbsp Tomato Puree (optional)

2 tbsp Crushed Pineapple (optional)

 

Mix the corn flour with the orange juice until smooth. Put all the other ingredients except the prawns into a saucepan, add the orange juice and corn flour and bring to the boil, stirring regularly until thick and smooth.

 

If you want a reddish-coloured sauce add the tomato puree and, if you like the flavour, add the crushed pineapple, or both. Put in the prawns and heat through for just two minutes, Don’t cook them too long or they’ll turn rubbery. Serve with boiled rice and stir-fried bean sprouts.
