XO Sauce Prawns
Get this recipe on the next page >>
With Chinese New Year around the corner, many people are including prawns in their menu because the word sounds like “ha” in Cantonese and some other Chinese dialects, symbolizing laughter (笑 “哈哈”) and happiness. This is an easy and quick recipe for prawns stir-fried in XO Sauce.

XO Sauce is a seafood sauce popular in Cantonese cuisine, and it is a sauce I recently started to use and really like. It’s slightly pricey because of the presence of dried scallops. To me, it is a god-sent sauce for stir frying, especially for a lazy cook like me. Foods coated in XO sauce just taste good. With the yummy sauce, you don’t need a lot of other marinades and condiments to season the food.

You’re right. It’s very good to have 蝦 for Chinese New Year. The name, the taste and the looking, all are best. I’m going to make a dish of stir fried prawns this year too.

Lovely! I like anything in XO sauce.
XO sauce is my favourite. I added some whenever I ate my dried shrimp noodles. It’s a great idea to use it for stir-fry. I bet this dish is full of flavour and perfect for this CNY.
Fast shrimp dishes are a favorite of mine! I’ve actually never had XO sauce before and would love to give it a shot.
May I know which brand of XO sauce do you use? =)
Hi JQ, sorry for my late reply. I bought my XO Sauce from Hong Kong, it’s a brand called 樓上 http://www.hkjebn.com/en/index.php. In Singapore, I think Lee Kum Kee is a good brand :)
Can you use XO with tofu?
Hi Cat, sometimes I add fried bean curd (tau kwa) pieces to my stir fry with XO Sauce before, and I liked it.
