Why people make this dish
After an evening of cold dishes — however impressive in presentation — there is always a moment when the stomach craves something warm and properly cooked. This mango prawn stir-fry is Nourilo’s answer: bright, sweet, and deeply satisfying. It pairs beautifully with a hot soup on the side to restore warmth to the stomach. The lesson from Cantonese food culture: a dish served hot, with good wok technique, is what truly nourishes. With the right technique, the prawns will be silky smooth every time.
Cooking technique note
The secret to silky, non-rubbery prawns is twofold: marinating with egg white and cornstarch creates a protective coating, and then poaching them gently to 80% done before finishing in the wok prevents overcooking.
