Used different ingredients. Can I give this 10 stars?? Excellent dish! Couple changes I made.. I used fresh grated root ginger instead of powdered and added some lemon rind to the prawns.Wonderful recipe, great reviews from guests! Thanks for adding it - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. wow...what a yummy recipe! i used canola oil and added a little sesame oil at the end. also, i used about 3/4 tsp of wasabi powder instead of cayenne pepper. also, i substituted fresh root ginger pressed through the garlic press and left out the salt. added a little soy sauce too (why not?). i left out the red capsicum and added broccoli and spring onion. i used frozen broccoli and snow peas, but i think i'll use fresh next time and add mushrooms and water chestnuts. my husband and i got some fresh large prawns and we had no idea what to do with them. thank goodness we found this recipe! - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. This was good and easy. I did change a few things. I added 4 tbsp soy sauce to the spices when I marinated the prawns. Instead of chicken stock I used about 100ml of rice wine and used about 1 tsp of cornflour. I also substituted soy sauce for the teriyaki sauce. I used powered ginger, but would love to try this with fresh. It turned out very well. My hubby liked it too. - 29 Sep 2008
