Ingredients

• 450 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 large Egg white
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
• 1 medium Carrot (sliced into thin matchsticks)
• 150 grams Snow peas (trimmed)
• 2 stalks Green onion (sliced diagonally)
• 120 milliliters Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white and cornstarch until smooth. Add the shrimp and gently toss until well coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the shrimp in batches for 1-2 minutes, just until they turn pink. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrot and snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well and pour the sauce into the skillet.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle with sesame oil and garnish with green onion slices before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
