HONG KONG TASTY STIR FRIED SHRIMP

A necessary preliminary step is to salt wash the shrimp to firm them up, which gives them a wonderful crunchy texture. Then it is necessary to coat them with a velvet-like egg white and cornstarch mixture; this protects the delicate shrimp meat from the oil and prevents overcooking. Once those steps are done, this dish takes but minutes to cook. Always buy the freshest shrimp possible.

Steps:

  • To clean the shrimp. Fill a large bowl of cold water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and gently wash the shrimp in the salt water. Drain and repeat the process, using fresh salted water. Then rinse the shrimp under cold running water, drain, and blot dry with paper towel.
  • Combine the egg white, cornstarch and salt together. Coat the shrimp with the coating ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet until it is hot; add the oil. When the oil is just warm, quickly add the shrimp, stir to separate, and turn off the heat. Allow the shrimp to sit in the warm oil for about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander set inside a stainless steel bowl, reserving the oil.
  • Reheat the wok, return 1 tablespoon of the drained oil and when it is hot, add the ginger and scallions and stir fry for 30 seconds. Then add the rice wine, vinegar, salt and the drained shrimp. Stir fry for 1 minute, turn out onto a serving platter and serve immediately. Serves 4-6.
  • NOTE: Velveting-Unique to Chinese cuisine, this technique gives a particularly delicious texture to meat and seafood. Heat the oil to moderately hot or just until bubbles gently form over the surface of a test piece of meat. Add the meat and stir carefully just to separate the pieces. Turn the heat off and allow the meat to sit in the oil as long as the recipe specifies. Turn the meat into a colander set aside a stainless steel bowl and drain well.

STIR-FRIED PRAWNS - HONG KONG STYLE

From the *Carnival Creations* cookbook by Cyrus Marfatia (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) comes this recipe described in the intro as a "Stir-fry favorite that requires just a bit of chopping plus quick wok cooking to provide a complete meal". (Time was estimated & does not include the 20 min to marinate the prawns. The wok cooking time is very fast & I allowed 20 min for ingredient prep) *Enjoy* !

  • Clean your shrimp and take your eggs out of the refrigerator early since it is best to cook them at room temperature. Beat your eggs in a large bowl and add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Chop the scallions and wash your toon sprouts, if using. Set aside a bit of chopped scallion and toon sprouts for the garnish and add the rest to the egg mixture.
  • Boil about 3 cups of water and toss in your shrimp until they just turn pink. This will be very fast. Drain and give them a quick rinse. Add the warm shrimp to your egg mixture.
  • Next, heat the wok on high until nearly smoking and add 1/4 cup canola oil. Swirl the oil around the wok thoroughly and pour in your egg mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula and fold the eggs gently but quickly, kind of like you're making scrambled eggs. You don't want any browned eggs in this dish, just fluffy clouds of egg with your shrimp dispersed throughout.
  • Once the eggs look done (be careful not to overcook them), transfer to a plate, garnish with scallion/sprouts, and serve with steamed rice.
