Prawn Fried Hor Run is one of the many variations of the famous Hong Kong dish, dry-fried beef hor fun. Instead of the chewy beef slices added into the fried hor fun, fresh prawns are used to increase the overall sweetness of the dish. As prawns are juicier, adding it into the fried hor fun will enhance the dish with a better flavour and punch!
In this Hong Kong cuisine, “wok hei” is a keypoint point to bring this dish to the next level. The secret of “wok hei” is to give this dish a charred and caramelised flavour, which can be achieved through cooking the dish at a very high temperature.
