I will share my recipe for preparing steamed garlic prawns in this video.
This traditional and luxurious Chinese delicacy is often served during festive occasions such as Chinese New Year. The good news is that it is a simple dish to prepare, as the steps are simple.
Steaming the prawns is the best way to bring out their natural flavor. Therefore, the most crucial aspect is using the freshest prawns available. Using medium to large prawns is also recommended for the best results.
The glass noodles that are steamed alongside the prawns will absorb all the delicious flavors of the prawns, making them exceptionally tasty.
If you usually cook prawns by baking or grilling, try steaming them instead for a new experience.

Ingredients A
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
1/3 cup of water
Ingredients B
80g glass noodles
500g medium-sized prawns (weigh before washing)
Fried garlic and chopped green onions as topping
Method
Clean and prepare the prawns for steaming
- After cleaning the prawns, trim the legs and cut off any sharp parts. Retain most parts of the head and the eyes to make them more presentable.
- Use scissors to open the back of the prawn shell and cut into the prawn meat, starting from the part near the head to the tail. Pull out the digestive tract with your hand or with a toothpick.
- Wash the prawns thoroughly with water and let them dry in a colander.
How to prepare the garlic sauce
- Heat some oil in a pan, add the chopped garlic, and fry until it becomes aromatic.
- Next, add oyster sauce, sugar, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and water.
- Let it return to a boil and set aside.
- Rehydrate the glass noodles
- Place the glass noodles in a container and then fill it with water until enough to submerge them.
- Let it soak for 15 minutes or until the glass noodles turn soft and rehydrate.
- Then, drain the glass noodles by putting them in a colander.
- Transfer the glass noodles to the steaming plate.
Prepare the fried garlic
- Place the chopped garlic in the oil and fry it until golden brown.
- Once it reaches a light golden color, remove the fried garlic from the oil by pouring it through a strainer to catch all the crispy garlic.
- Transfer the garlic on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Steam the prawns
- Arrange the prawns on the bed of glass noodles on the plate.
- Drizzle the garlic sauce into the opening of the back of the prawns. Pour the remaining garlic sauce onto the area outside the prawns if there is excess.
- Steam over high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the fried garlic on the steamed prawns, and use chopped spring onions and chili to garnish.
