Ingredients
- 4 talks celery
- 2 large egg (50 g each w/o shell)
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 20 Shrimp (deveined, insert a knife in the back of shrimp so this area will start to curl with heat)
- 2 tsp doubanjiang (spicy chili bean paste)
- 4 Tbsp ketchup
- ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut celery in half lengthwise, and slice diagonally.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg, salt, and pepper. In a wok or a large frying pan, heat 2 Tbsp sesame oil on medium-high heat. When you start to see smoke coming from the oil, pour the egg.
- Make fluffy egg by quickly swirling the uncooked egg in hot oil.
- The egg will start to cook from the edge and bottom of the wok/pan.
- Transfer to a plate when the egg is almost cooked.
- In the same wok/pan, add 1 Tbsp sesame oil on medium-high heat and cook shrimp. When it starts to curl up, add doubanjang and mix well.
- Add celery and stir-fry. Do not overcook as it tastes better when celery still has a little bit of crunchy texture. Then add Ketchup and mix well.
- Add the egg back in and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
