Yes another prawn dish, please don't laugh! I know about cholestrol issue but I cannot help it. Come on, a few prawns won't kill....hahaha.... Ok this is an amazingly easy way to whip up a bowl of flavorful herbal prawns by just throwing everything into a pot. I think I am quite lucky to get this right combination by guts feel, don't we just love how our moms did their cooking by "Agaration"? ;)
Ingredients
10 medium size prawns
2 tbsp dried anchoives (de-boned type)
2-3 dang gui (angelica root)
1 dang shen (codonopsis root)
1/2 tbsp gou qi zi (wolfberry)
4 red dates (seedless)
2 cup water
Pinch of salt
1/2 tbsp chinese wine
Methods
1) Rinse the prawns and set aside.
2) In a pot, boil 2 cups of water to boil and add in all the chinese herbs and dried anchoives. Boil for 2 minutes, cover with lid and simmer at low fire for about 30mins.
3) The water level should be reduced to half by now, add salt and bring water to boil again. Add prawns.
4) Once the prawns are cooked, add wine and off fire. Do not overcook the prawns.
Notes
Here's a website showing the images of various chinese herbs for reference:
