Critical Success Points
- • Dry the prawns thoroughly before coating
- • Ensure the wok is smoking hot before adding oil
- • Do not stir the prawns immediately; let them sear
- • Cook garlic and chili only 20‑30 seconds to prevent burning
- • Keep vegetables crisp by high‑heat quick toss
- • Add basil at the very end for maximum fragrance
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep face away from the wok.
- • Ensure prawns are cooked through (opaque) to avoid foodborne illness.
- • Handle the hot wok with a sturdy oven mitt or towel.
