Steamed shrimp and tofu

Ingredients (serves 4):
12-15 medium-sized prawns, shelled and deveined, keeping prawn shells
2 packs silken tofu, sliced into fours
2 stalks spring onion

Sauce:
4 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp oyster sauce

Method:
1. Marinate prawns with a light sprinkling of sugar, a pinch of salt and cornflour for 10 minutes, then set aside.
2. Arrange tofu on a plate for steaming.
3. Cut the white base of the spring onion from the green part. The white portion is to be steamed together with the prawns for added flavour. Shred the green part for topping later.
4. Put prawn shells and prawns on a plate to be steamed together. Place tofu on a separate plate. Steam prawns and tofu - preferably on 2 levels of the steaming pot - for 5 minutes until tofu is heated through and the prawns and shells turn pink. Discard prawn shells.
5. To prepare sauce, drain gravy from plate of prawns into a pan. Heat until reduced to half. Add sauce ingredients and heat for 1 minute.
6. To serve, put prawns on top of tofu pieces. Pour sauce over and top with shredded spring onion.
