Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In large bowl, toss prawns with cooking sherry and ½ tbsp (7 mL) cornstarch.

  2. Step 2

    In wok or large saucepan, heat canola oil over medium high heat. Add ginger and stir fry for about 1 minute. Add prawns and stir fry until pink. Remove from pan and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    In small bowl or cup, mix together chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce and remaining cornstarch.

  4. Step 4

    If needed, add a little more canola oil to the pan, add the bok choy and mushrooms. Stir fry for about 3 minutes. Return prawns and add chicken broth mixture. Serve hot from pan over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.

    NOTE: *If using dried whole mushrooms (available affordably in the ethnic aisle), place in a bowl and cover with boiling water and allow to stand for at least 20 minutes. When rehydrated, chop in halves or quarters.
