02Steps
  1. Marinate peeled and deveined prawns with Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Rehydrate dried scallops in hot water for 30 minutes until soft. Shred them and reserve the soaking water.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add prawns and stir-fry until they turn pink and opaque, about 1-2 minutes. Remove prawns from the wok and set aside.
  5. Add remaining vegetable oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic and minced ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Add blanched broccoli and shredded dried scallops to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  7. In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken broth (or reserved dried scallop soaking water). Add cornstarch to thicken.
  8. Return prawns to the wok. Pour in the sauce mixture. Stir-fry quickly until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients. Serve immediately.
