Instant stir fry with prawns in a spicy sauce, delicious Chinese cuisine

Do you like strong culinary experiences? You have the opportunity to see how wonderful Sichuan cuisine is. I propose spicy Szechuan prawns, one of the most famous dishes of this region. Recipe taken from the book "Easy Chinese Cuisine" by Ken Hom.

It is an exceptionally expressive dish. All you need to do is prepare all the ingredients in advance, because the frying process itself is very quick. 5 minutes and the dish is ready!

To prepare Sichuan prawns, in addition to prawns, we need a few key ingredients from the world cuisine: fermented black bean paste, sesame oil, peanut oil and black rice vinegar. You can find all these ingredients at Asian stands or in online stores, including in Cuisines of the World .
