Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
- 2 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut thinly on a bias
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
For the Stir-fry Sauce
- ½ cup poaching liquid, reserved from parboiling the broccoli
- ⅓ cup oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shrimps, corn starch, and Chinese cooking wine. Massage shrimp to fully coat and marinate for about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain shrimps well, squeezing any excess liquid.
- In a sauce pot over medium heat, bring about 1 quart of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and carrots and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until tender yet crisp.
- With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from pot and plunge the vegetables into a bowl of ice water. Reserve ½ cup of the parboiling liquid.
- When completely cold, drain the vegetables well in a colander.
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add shrimp and cook, turning as needed, just until color changes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Wipe down the surface of the pan if needed. Increase heat to high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, for about 30 seconds or until softened.
- In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and stir until well-blended. Add to the pan and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened.
- Add shrimp and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add broccoli and carrots and cook, stirring to combine and fully coat with sauce, for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Cut the vegetables in uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
