Chinese Shrimp in Oyster Sauce Recipe

Serves/Makes: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large raw shrimps, peeled
• 1/4 pound coarse-ground pork
• 2 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 2 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Peanut oil
• A few sticks fresh ginger, matchstick size
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon dow see (black beans), rinsed, drained, and mashed
• 1 egg
• Pinch of brown sugar (optional)

How to cook Chinese Shrimp in Oyster Sauce:

• Marinate the shrimp in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, and a bit of grated ginger, for 15 minutes.
• In another bowl, marinate for the same time the pork in 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sherry, and again a bit of grated ginger.
• Chow the pork in a bit of peanut oil in a wok or heavy frying pan.
• Cook it just for only a few moments, or until it changes color. Remove it, and rinse the wok.
• Heat the wok again, and add 2 tablespoons peanut oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger sticks and the garlic.
• When they have cooked for a moment, add the drained marinated shrimp, and toss them in the hot oil. Cook for just a moment, and then add the green onions and cooked pork.
• Add the oyster sauce and dow see.
• Toss again, and add the egg to thicken the dish.
• You may wish to add a pinch of brown sugar to cut some of the saltiness.
