As we all know, braised prawns is a classic dish, which is made by some unique cooking methods in metapenaeus ensis. Metapenaeus ensis is delicious and rich in nutrients, such as protein and calcium. There are many ways to eat it, such as boiling it directly in water. It is ok to fry it or stew it. Personally, I like braised prawns very much.

Braised prawns are red and bright when cooked, and they all look appetizing. As soon as they are served, they will be rushed to eat. They are so delicious that they suck their fingers and lick their plates, and they are really wanting. Learn it well, show your loved ones something this Spring Festival, and you will certainly be able to attract their taste! So when we cook braised prawns, do we need to blanch them first and then stew them, or is it better to fry them directly and then stew them later?

Speaking of which, I have tried it several times before. If I try to blanch it and then stew it, it will make the lobster lose its fresh flavor and taste not tender. But later, some people told me that the braised prawns have no fresh flavor or even old taste, which has nothing to do with blanching. The key point is to grasp the maturity and time of braised prawns, and some condiments can't be put in! Then I'll also enjoy the proper way to cook braised prawns, and see if it's the same as yours.

Making steps:

1. Prepare some fresh metapenaeus ensis in advance, and don't buy frozen ones.

2. Clean up the metapenaeus ensis, pick out the shrimp line, and then cut off the shrimp feet and whiskers.

3. Cut part of the onion into strips and part into onion segments, shred the ginger, slice the garlic and dice the pepper.

4. Put metapenaeus ensis, scallion and ginger into the pot, add two bowls of cold water, and you can fish them out when they are hot and boiled. You don't need to cook for too long. Using cold water can make fresh shrimp more delicious and has no fishy smell.

5. Hot oil from the pot. First put a handful of pepper, fry it for 30 seconds, then pick it up and throw it away. Then put garlic, ginger and pepper into the pot. Pepper is put in because it can enhance the fragrance of metapenaeus ensis and remove fishy smell.

6. Then pour metapenaeus ensis into the pot, add soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and salt and stir-fry evenly.

7. Then cover the lid tightly, simmer for 2 minutes, and finally sprinkle in the onion and turn it evenly.

Do not add cooking wine when cooking braised prawns, and never add anise, star anise and cinnamon.
