Shrimp With Tofu Stir-Fry

- 3 tablespoons oil, for cooking
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (omit if you don't have any)
- (1)
- 1 teaspoon cooking wine (Rice wine, Sherry or Mirin)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- (2)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt (use less salt if broth is used)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 dash pepper
- (3)
- 2 cups firm tofu, cut into 1-inch square (one pkg)
- 1 tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup mushroom (button, straw, shitake)
- 1/3 cup green peas or 1/3 cup snow peas
- 1/3 cup carrot, diced
- (4)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Mix ingredients in #1 and marinate the shrimp for about 5 minutes.
- Heat up wok or skillet and add cooking oil. Stir-fry the shrimp until pink and just cooked and remove.
- Use oil left in pan and saute the ginger root and green onions until fragrant.
- Add the broth #2 and bring to a boil, then add #3, bring it back to a boil again and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add shrimp back in and #4 to the stir to thicken. (Make sure to mix the cornstarch and water throughly before adding, it tends to settle if left for even a few seconds).
- Add sesame oil and transfer right away to a serving dish (the sesame oil is to enhance the flavor not used to cook the dish).
