• 100 milliliters Chicken stock
• 1 teaspoons Sugar

• 0.5 teaspoons Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the shrimp with salt and white pepper, then sprinkle cornstarch evenly over them and toss to coat.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly crispy. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato ketchup and doubanjiang. Cook for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly in the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with the green parts of the chopped green onions.
