~ingredients:
- 1 lb shrimp
- shrimp marinade:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 2 medium-large broccoli heads
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
- sauce:
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp sesame oil
~instructions:
- If using head-on shrimp, peel and devein.
- Marinade the shrimp with the above listed marinade ingredients and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Note: Do not marinate for too long, so marinate only when you’re ready to cook.
- Chop the broccoli into smaller florets, and mince your garlic.
- Bring a pot of water to boil, and blanch the broccoli for 3 minutes. We want the broccoli to be 80% cooked, it’ll finish cooking later in the wok. Drain and set aside.
- Mix together the sauce ingredients, set aside.
- Heat up your wok on medium-high heat, and add 1 tbsp of oil. Once the wok starts to smoke, add in the shrimp and garlic. Sear on one side for a minute before flipping.
- Add in a splash of shaoxing wine, and cook the shrimp about 80% of the way, before adding in the broccoli.
- Stir the broccoli and shrimp for 30 seconds, then add in the sauce mixture (give the sauce a good stir before adding, as the corn starch has most likely settled)
- Stir-fry for another minute, and turn off the heat. The sauce will have thickened, and everything else should be cooked through.
- Serve over rice, and enjoy!
