Stir-Fried Spot Prawns

Ingredients
1-2 lbs live spot prawns
1/3 cup canola oil
ginger, minced
scallions, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine
1 tsp sugar

Directions
If you are not squeamish, trim the antennae off the live prawns. (If you are, you can just throw them untrimmed into the wok and it'll be fine.)

Heat a large wok. Add the oil, and toast the minced ginger and scallion a bit. Add the live prawns to the hot oil. Be ready to put the lid on immediately! They will jumps some.

Give it a jostle every 10 sec. When the jumping has subsided, remove the lid. Sauté until the prawns are curled up and have changed color. Add soy sauce, cooking wine and sugar. Continue stir-frying until the prawns are cooked, approx. 10 min cooking time total.
