Crisp King Prawns With Honey Garlic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Prawns
    3 teaspoons cornflour
    800 g about 16 green king prawns, peeled, veins removed, tails intact
    2 teaspoons light soy sauce
    1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    80 ml vegetable oil
    Honey and garlic sauce
    2 tablespoons honey (see note)
    2 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    5 teaspoons light soy sauce
Preparation
    Combine cornflour with 2 tsp water in a large bowl, add prawns, soy sauce, egg yolk and sesame oil and mix to combine.
    For honey and garlic sauce, combine ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
    Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat, add half the prawns and cook for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer prawns to an absorbent paper-lined plate and repeat with remaining prawns.
    Carefully drain oil from wok and wipe clean with absorbent paper. Heat wok over medium heat, add honey and garlic sauce and simmer for 11/2 minutes, then add prawns and cook for 30 seconds or until prawns are hot. Serve immediately.
