How to make a Chinese Shrimp Stir Fry.
INGREDIENTS: Serves 2
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
- 3 green onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
METHOD:
- In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce and cilantro and set aside.
- Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, add shrimp and cornstarch and toss to coat.
- In a wok or large saute pan over high heat, add half the cooking oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
- When the wok is very hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook partially until one side is nicely seared, about 1 minute.
- Flip and sear the other side of each shrimp, about one more minute.
- They don’t need to be cooked all the way through yet.
- Remove them to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let wok cool off a bit to prevent the aromatics from burning.
- Add the remaining cooking oil and add green onion, garlic and ginger and stir fry for a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the sauce mixture and add the shrimp back into the pan.
- Stir fry for another minute or so until shrimp is cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy!
