A quick Chinese American-style stir-fry with juicy shrimp, crisp broccoli, and a savory sauce, served hot over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or canola oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Instructions

  1. Add the shrimp to a large bowl with the Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Combine the chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve.
  3. Add 1/4 cup water to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover, and cook for about 1 minute. Transfer the broccoli to a plate and wipe the pan with kitchen paper towels.
  4. Add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in one layer and cook without touching until the bottom turns golden, about 1 minute. Flip the shrimp, add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir a few times.
  5. Stir the sauce to dissolve the cornstarch completely, pour it into the pan, and add the cooked broccoli. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, then transfer everything to a serving plate.
  6. Serve hot over rice as a main dish.

Notes

For softer broccoli, cook it under the lid for 1.5 minutes instead of about 1 minute., Reheat leftovers in a pan with a small splash of water or in a steamer; microwave heating may make the shrimp tough.
