Critical Success Points

  • Dry the prawns thoroughly before coating
  • Ensure the wok is smoking hot before adding oil
  • Do not stir the prawns immediately; let them sear
  • Cook garlic and chili only 20‑30 seconds to prevent burning
  • Keep vegetables crisp by high‑heat quick toss
  • Add basil at the very end for maximum fragrance

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep face away from the wok.
  • Ensure prawns are cooked through (opaque) to avoid foodborne illness.
  • Handle the hot wok with a sturdy oven mitt or towel.
