Recipe review Sweet & Sour Prawns - pge 37 A Taste of Asia

[judydawn]

This is a great recipe and hardly needs any tweaking.  I tend not to chop my onions for more than 2 seconds on speed 5 and usually opt for speed 1 instead of soft speed so they were the only changes I made.  I did half the recipe but kept all the vegetable amounts as per the full quantity to make it stretch further.  The vegies were cooked perfectly, just the right amount of crunch to them and served with my fried rice, it became a meal which I would gladly share with friends.
5/5 and a real winner.

Looks nice Judy I am glad you had success with the Asian cookbook.

Glad this one worked for you JD and your photo is great.
I am allergic to shellfish  so always look at the these recipes with a view to swapping the meat.

Chicken would work well Jan.

[Very Happy Jan]

Thanks JD. I got out my book to mark the recipe and found I had already put a sticky marker on it and pencilled in "maybe chicken". If I had remembered to take the chicken out of the freezer this morning we could have had this for dinner as I have everything else but alas I wasn't that organised so not sure what we will have now.

What recipe did you use for the fried rice JD. It looks really yummy. It's probably on the forum but I find it really hard to find things on here sometimes.

[judydawn]

Not on the forum Twitterpated - cooked in a frying pan.  Cooked the rice yesterday for another dish but made enough for this as well.  Made an omelette, set aside until it cooled, rolled it up and sliced in 1 cm slices, pan fried chopped red onion and bacon, added the rice, omelette slices, cooked peas and soy sauce. Very fast whilst the sweet and sour prawns were cooking and a change from plain steamed rice for a change. Tastes heaps better than bought fried rice.

Shock horror JD  I thought all your cooking was done mostly in the TMX.

Looks good JD! Thanks for the review.

  99% of it is Twitterpated and fried rice is a rarity in this house but sometimes you just have to do it this way

Glad to hear a good review on this, JD - I wasn't thinking to try this dish as my idea of sweet and sour prawns has deep fried prawns, lol - you know, Australian sweet and sour?

Looks so appetising, Judy - only downside now that reviews for Taste of Asia book are surfacing I will really need to obtain one - given my recipe book collector aversion.

  You mean the battered version thermoheaven?  I was never into the battered version so this one is far more healthy. I think it would be nice to, once the sauce is made to just add a can of tuna.
