How I made it

1. Whisk one egg and add the corn starch, all purpose flour , ajinomotto , water, salt and pepper. Marinate the prawns in this mixture for and hour and then fry them. Try not to overcook the prawns as they might turn rubbery. Also, later on we add the prawns to the vegetable stir fry and cook them again.

2. Heat some oil in a pan and add the onion, carrots, bell pepper, and saute for 3 - 4 minutes. To this, add the pineapple and tomato. Saute till the tomatoes turn soft.

3. Add the tomato sauce, sugar and salt and cook for another minute.

4. Add the fried prawns and combine well. You can add some pepper powder too if you like it spicy.

5. Turn off the stove and add 1 tsp vinegar and mix well. Serve hot.
