Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch scallions
1 lb large shrimp in shell (16 to 20 per lb), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 (2-lb) head Napa cabbage, quartered lengthwise, cored, and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces (10 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips (1 cup)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Accompaniment: cooked rice

Steps:

  • Cut white and pale green parts of scallions into 2-inch pieces and thinly slice dark green parts.
  • Stir together shrimp, 1 tablespoon Sherry, cornstarch, white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.
  • Rinse cabbage in a colander. Tap colander lightly, then transfer cabbage to a large bowl with excess water clinging to leaves.
  • Heat a 14-inch wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until beginning to smoke, then add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil begins to smoke, add shrimp and stir-fry until golden and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a clean bowl.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to wok and heat until just smoking, then stir-fry ginger and white and pale green parts of scallions until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and stir-fry until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon Sherry and cook until most of liquid is evaporated. Add cabbage with water from bowl, soy sauce, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, covered, until cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in shrimp along with any juices accumulated in bowl and simmer, uncovered, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 minute. Add scallion greens and toss to combine well.
