My auntie made something like this during Chinese New Year! She added sambal chili and didn't have any egg nor water, so the sauce was really thick and yummy with rice. Also, she fried it with a lot of garlic (I think I saw an entire mountain on the chopping board). Thank you for posting the recipe:D

    This is so delicious and reminiscent of the homestyle cooking that I missed most. I shelled the prawns and added some finely shredded young ginger to Step 1, and a sprinkling of spring onions, and coriander after Step 5. I have also used this recipe for crabs. I always make some buttered toast triangles to soak up the gravy when I cook this.

    What a pleasant surprise this recipe was! This is incredibly good and sooo easy. This truly can be made in 10 minutes. It makes a great little sauce that was delicious sopped up with a toasted whole wheat pita. I think it would also be great with Chinese noodles or rice. This is destined to become a regular at our house. Thank you so much philliptan!
