About

Ebi is a Japanese word for “prawn” or “shrimp”. This is one of my elder sister’s favourite dishes. She always requested to order this dish whenever we dined out in Chinese eateries.

A simple treat of stir-fried prawns seasoned with tomato sauce and spicy chilli bean paste, this can definitely win over a child, just as it did with my sister.
