1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oyster sauce, such as Lee Kum Kee
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 celery stalks, cut on a sharp bias 1/4 inch thick (2 1/2 cups), plus celery leaves for serving

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 oz. medium shrimp ((225g, peeled and deveined))
1 1/4 teaspoon sugar ((divided))
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
salt and white pepper
4 stalks celery ((sliced at a 45 degree angle))
1/2 red bell pepper ((sliced))
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 slices ginger ((minced))
1 scallion ((chopped))
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
3/4 cup cashews ((roasted; see note))

Steps:

  • First, prepare the shrimp. Toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, gently mixing everything together for a couple minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours and then rinse under cold running water for 5 minutes to wash away any sugar and baking soda. Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Marinate the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pinch of white pepper and set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Now, since the dish comes together very quickly, and you want to avoid overcooking the shrimp, it's time to blanch the celery and red bell pepper. Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop the celery and red bell pepper in. After 30 seconds, drain the vegetables and shock them in ice water. Drain completely and set aside.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and chopped scallion and cook for 1 minute. Then turn up the heat to high and add the shrimp. Once the shrimp have just begun to turn pink, add the blanched celery and red bell pepper, along with the last 1/4 teaspoon sugar, the oyster sauce, and the cashews. Mix everything well, and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Serve.
