Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the mashed garlic and anchovies, then stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

Add the blended onions and chili paste. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture darkens slightly and the raw smell disappears.

Add the prawns or minced chicken and cook until the protein is fully cooked through. Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and salt, mixing well so the seasoning coats everything evenly.
