From my collection of handwritten recipes. Ingredients:
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined |
1 egg white |
3 1/2 tablespoons oil |
1 tablespoon fermented black beans (also known as salted black beans) |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon ginger, minced |
1/4 cup red pepper, diced |
1/4 cup green pepper, diced |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons dry white wine |
1 scallion, minced |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with egg white and 1/2 Tblsp. oil. Rinse black beans with cold water to remove excess salt. Mash coarsely. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 Tblsp. cold water. In a wok, heat remaining 3 Tblsp. oil over high heat until smoking. Add garlic and ginger, then add black beans, red pepper, and green pepper. Stir fry until vegetables are slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and stir fry until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Add soy sauce and wine. Stir dissolved cornstarch and add to wok. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with scallions and serve.
