Garlic Ginger Prawn with Soba Noodles

Bonsoir a tous,

Noodles with garlic and ginger is a simple, fast and very tasty dish that fits equally as a main dish for lunch or dinner at home. They are simple to make with only requires a few ingredients, minimal preparation time and great results also great paired with other dishes.

Actually I prefer to cook prawns with shell on because when the shell is off and when the prawn is cooked, it'll become a little bit hard and lose all its juices. To cooked prawns at home is better taste like the prawns you'd get from restaurant or sometime the taste even more better than restaurant.

The recipe as below:

GARLIC GINGER PRAWN WITH SOBA NOODLES

Ingredients:-

1 packet dry soba noodles
300gm prawns
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
2cm fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying

METHOD:-

- Cook the noodles following packet direction. Drain and keep aside.
- Heat a little oil in frying pan and cook prawns for a minute.
- Add garlic, shallot and ginger and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes more.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook until golden and the prawns cooked through.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve over the soba noodles or rice.

Yummy! Bon appetit!
