Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (250g) raw, peeled & frozen baby shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 tablespoon Longjing tea leaves
- 1/4 cup hot water
- Some chopped scallion
- 1 tablespoon egg white
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Instructions
- Defrost the frozen shrimp, rinse well, and pat dry with paper towels. Add corn starch and egg white to the shrimp and marinate for 15 minutes. Prepare the tea in a small tea pot by adding 1/4 cup hot water to the tea leaves. Set aside for 5 minutes and then filter the tea and set aside for the stir-fry.
- Heat up 1 teaspoon cooking oil in a wok and toss in the shrimp. Do a few quick stirs until the shrimp is 50% cooked, dish out and set aside. Wash the wok and heat it up again with the remaining 1 teaspoon cooking oil.
- Add the shrimp back into the wok, and quickly follow by the tea, Shaoxing wine, salt, and chopped scallion. Do a quick stir over high heat until the shrimp is cooked, dish out and serve immediately.
