This is a very popular Chinese dish in Japan. I happened to have chopped clam in my fridge, so I used it in the sauce and came out really delicious. This is very easy and quick dish. Peel and deveine large shrimp. Mince garlic, ginger and chop scallion. In a small bawl mix 1/2 cup chicken stock, 3 Tbs ketchup, 1 Tbs hot chili sauce, 1 Tbs sake, 1 Tbs soy sauce. Heat canola oil in wok or frying pan, add garlic, ginger and scallion, then add shrimp. Sautee 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn to red color in high heat, then add the mixture of chicken stock. Cook 2-3 minutes. Add green peas if you like. Finally, add potato starch mixture to make the sauce thick. ( 1Tbs starch and 1Tbs water)If you try this recipe, don't measure exactly, always adjust the taste as you like, because I don't measure when I cook. I always eye bawl everything.
I also made Chicken and broccoli stir fry. This is also very easy dish as you may know.
I marinate chicken first in sake, ginger, salt and pepper. This makes chicken more flavorful.
this looks so delicious! I have some frozen shrimp in my freezer... I think I'll try to make this soon.
ReplyDeleteThis does look good! As I told Eiko, I feel less alone and actually quite inspired knowing that someone else is trying to prepare tasty and nutritious meals, although hers are way more exciting. Obachan and Shinho are so lucky!
