This popular Malaysian dish is a crowd-pleaser, and for good reason! The combination of succulent prawns, crispy egg floss, and rich butter sauce is a match made in heaven. Here's a simple recipe to make Malaysian Butter Egg Floss Prawns at home:
Ingredients:
- 12 large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup egg floss (see note)
- Salt to taste
- Scallions, chopped (optional)
Note: Egg floss is a common ingredient in Malaysian and Chinese cuisine. It's made by cooking eggs in a wok until they're crispy and fluffy. You can make your own egg floss by beating 2 eggs with a fork, then cooking them in a hot wok with a small amount of oil until they're crispy and golden brown. Alternatively, you can use store-bought egg floss or omit it altogether.
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Add the prawns and stir-fry until they're pink and cooked through. Remove the prawns from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the oyster sauce (if using), soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir-fry until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
- Push the sauce to one side of the wok. Crack in the beaten eggs and scramble them until cooked through. Mix the eggs with the sauce.
- Add the cooked prawns back into the wok and stir-fry until they're well coated with the egg and sauce mixture.
- Add the egg floss and stir-fry until it's evenly distributed.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Garnish with chopped scallions (if using) and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality prawns for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the prawns, as they can become tough and rubbery.
- Adjust the amount of egg floss to your liking. You can also omit it altogether if you prefer.
- Serve the Butter Egg Floss Prawns with steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
Enjoy your delicious Malaysian Butter Egg Floss Prawns!
