Fried Prawns With Sweet Soy Sauce


This Sweet Soy Sauce Prawns recipe is great with some steamed rice. You can use any variety of prawns for the recipe; but, just make sure the shells and heads are intact. The shells will provide a nice fragrant to the sauce which will make the whole dish tastier. So, prepare plenty of napkins as you will be using your hands to enjoy these prawns! :-)

10 (750 g) Large River Prawns, shell on
½ tsp Ground Turmeric
6 to 8 Cloves Garlic, whole and peeled

They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
