This is a great recipe and hardly needs any tweaking. I tend not to chop my onions for more than 2 seconds on speed 5 and usually opt for speed 1 instead of soft speed so they were the only changes I made. I did half the recipe but kept all the vegetable amounts as per the full quantity to make it stretch further. The vegies were cooked perfectly, just the right amount of crunch to them and served with my fried rice, it became a meal which I would gladly share with friends.
5/5 and a real winner.

Looks nice Judy I am glad you had success with the Asian cookbook.
-
Glad this one worked for you JD and your photo is great.
I am allergic to shellfish :( so always look at the these recipes with a view to swapping the meat.

Chicken would work well Jan.
-
Thanks JD. I got out my book to mark the recipe and found I had already put a sticky marker on it and pencilled in "maybe chicken". If I had remembered to take the chicken out of the freezer this morning we could have had this for dinner as I have everything else but alas I wasn't that organised so not sure what we will have now. :(

Wonderful result Judy,DH and I love sweet and sour Prawns. :)
-
Then you'll both love this one CC ;)

What recipe did you use for the fried rice JD. It looks really yummy. It's probably on the forum but I find it really hard to find things on here sometimes.
-
Not on the forum Twitterpated - cooked in a frying pan. Cooked the rice yesterday for another dish but made enough for this as well. Made an omelette, set aside until it cooled, rolled it up and sliced in 1 cm slices, pan fried chopped red onion and bacon, added the rice, omelette slices, cooked peas and soy sauce. Very fast whilst the sweet and sour prawns were cooking and a change from plain steamed rice for a change. Tastes heaps better than bought fried rice.

Shock horror JD :o I thought all your cooking was done mostly in the TMX. ;D

Looks good JD! Thanks for the review.

99% of it is Twitterpated and fried rice is a rarity in this house but sometimes you just have to do it this way ;D ;D

Glad to hear a good review on this, JD - I wasn't thinking to try this dish as my idea of sweet and sour prawns has deep fried prawns, lol - you know, Australian sweet and sour?

Looks so appetising, Judy - only downside now that reviews for Taste of Asia book are surfacing I will really need to obtain one - given my recipe book collector aversion. :) :)

You mean the battered version thermoheaven? I was never into the battered version so this one is far more healthy. I think it would be nice to, once the sauce is made to just add a can of tuna.

I made this for our supper this evening.I agree with Judy it's a great recipe and we all enjoyed it. Definitely made this again :)
-
I just got the Taste of Asia cookbook and was a bit dubious about this recipe. Thanks Judydawn: you're encouraging me to give it a go :)

This is my week for Asian cooking,(after attending the Asian cooking class on Monday) tonight I made this, DH who isn't a fan a sweet and sour loved this one. I cut the ingredients in half, but forgot when I was adding the sauce ingredients, there was lots of sauce that DH used to soak up his rice. Will defiantly make this one again.
