- Step 1: Mix the grated ginger and garlic in a bowl until a paste forms. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix half of the ginger-garlic paste with the chilli powder, cornflour, and a pinch of salt. Add the raw prawns and toss well to coat evenly.
- Step 3: Slice the bullhorn peppers, onion, and red chillies.
- Step 4: Place a wok over high heat and add the oil for frying. Once the oil reaches 160°C (320°F) or starts bubbling around a chopstick, carefully add the prawns.
- Step 5: Cook the prawns for 3–4 minutes, flipping often, until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove from the oil and set aside.
- Step 6: Carefully drain most of the oil, leaving about 2–3 tablespoons in the wok.
- Step 7: Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the sliced onions, peppers, and chillies. Toss well.
- Step 8: Stir in the remaining ginger-garlic paste and toss again.
- Step 9: Add the cooked prawns back to the wok and mix well.
- Step 10: Pour in the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and chilli sauce. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Step 11: Serve and enjoy with steamed jasmine rice.
