Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Mix well to create a marinade.

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 20-30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the marinated prawns to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink.
Step 7
Sprinkle the ground white pepper evenly over the prawns and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are fully cooked and coated in the sauce.
Step 8
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the prawns if needed for extra sheen and flavor.
