~ Diana Fong Chan'S Shrimp With Soy Beans

• 1/2 lb shrimp
• 2 cups of frozen green soy beans
• 3-4 cloves garlic
• 1 Tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch
• 1 tsp pale dry sherry or
• Shaoxing cooking wine
• 2 Tbsp corn oil or peanut oil
• Salt & white pepper, 1 tsp sugar

1. Defrost shrimp* and soybeans in the refrigerator ahead of time. Put 1 tsp salt on shrimp while prepping it. Salt improves the texture of shrimp meat. Rinse in cold water, drain, and dry with paper towel. Marinate shrimp with tapioca starch or cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic.
2. Microwave soybeans on serving plate for 1 minute if beans are frozen. Heat wok until it's very hot; add oil, swirl oil and stir-fry shrimp and garlic. Add cooking wine, and toss in the soybeans when shrimp is almost done. Season to taste with salt and sugar. Voila, you have an Easy and Delicious entree in minutes.
3. Variation using fresh sugar peas instead of soy beans. Remove tendrils on sugar peas. Wash, spin dry, and microwave for 11/2-2 1/2 minutes until sugar peas are almost done and still crunchy. Add to shrimp and stir-fry 1 minute just like the shrimp with soy beans. Season to taste with salt and sugar. It's another Easy and Delicious recipe.
4. * Buy frozen uncooked shrimp that is shelled and deveined.
