Steps:
- Mix the shrimp together with 1 teaspoon of oil and ½ teaspoon of cornstarch until the shrimp are evenly coated. Set aside.
- With the burner on low, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in your wok. Add the ginger and fry for 30 seconds. Next, add the douban jiang or the hot chili oil (with chili flakes), the garlic, and the shallots, and continue to stir fry for another 2 minutes.
- Next, stir in the ketchup and hoisin sauce, and turn the heat up from low to medium. Let the ketchup and hoisin sauce fry for 1 to 2 minutes to bring out a rich color and flavor. Turn the heat down if it looks like the sauce may burn.
- Next, add the Shaoxing wine, water chestnuts (if using), and the red bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, and let the mixture come to a boil; then immediately turn the heat down to let the mixture simmer.
- Add the rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, sugar and white pepper, and continue to simmer the sauce for another 3 minutes. When 3 minutes have elapsed, turn the heat up slightly and stir in the shrimp.
- Once the shrimp and sauce mixture returns to a steady simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce has thickened. At this point, the shrimp should be opaque and cooked through. Stir in the scallions. Serve with steamed rice!

Steps:
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add soy sauce mixture; cook until lightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add vegetables and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are soft, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Divide among 4 bowls; serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for shrimp that is firm and translucent, vegetables that are crisp and colorful, and a good quality soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Prepare your ingredients in advance: Cut your vegetables and shrimp into uniform pieces before you start cooking. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help create a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables, and prevent them from sticking.
- Stir-fry in small batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables in small batches, removing them from the wok or skillet once they are cooked.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a stir-fry together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the dish.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the shrimp is still tender.
Conclusion:
Mandarin shrimp and vegetable stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and the shrimp adds a protein-packed punch. Serve it over rice or noodles, or as a standalone dish. With its vibrant colors and flavorful sauce, it is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
