When I think about Asian cuisine, one of the first associations, which swam in my head is seafood. And prawns are among them. Asian cuisine is a mix of flavors. They like to combine thigs, which really hard to combine.

The recipe, which Oleg Pashkevich gave me, is one of where incongruous products sing together very good.
