Chinese Stir Fried Shrimp and Broccoli Recipe
Ingredients:
- 16 medium shrimp, shelled and cleaned
- 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 broccoli stems, cut into 1-1/2-inch florets
- 2 to 3 cups oil, for frying
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 3 tablespoons sherry
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- Dash of sesame oil
How to cook Chinese Stir Fried Shrimp and Broccoli:
- Mix the shrimp with the egg whites and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
- Stir fry the shrimp with the broccoli in a wok with hot oil for about 4 to 5 minutes over fairly low heat 200°F to 250°F (95°C to 120°C). Enough oil should be in the wok to cover the shrimp.
- Remove the shrimp and broccoli and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil. Return the shrimp and broccoli to the wok and add the remaining ingredients. Stir fry until hot.
- Serve the Chinese Stir Fried Shrimp and Broccoli with hot steamed white rice.
Note:
The Chinese Stir Fried Shrimp and Broccoli recipe very easy to prepare and so good!
Tips:
Mixing the shrimp with the egg whites tenderizes the shrimp. In preparing the dish, be careful that the oil does not get too hot. If it does, the shrimp will become crisp – something you don’t want.
