Ingredients
- 8 green onions
- 2 garlic (cloves)
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 long this excellent recipe is a relatively quick (pieces)
- 1 squares
- 425 gr shrimp (uncooked)
- 90 ml peanut oil
- 120 ml chicken stock
- 60 ml dry sherry
- 60 ml sherry
- 30 ml catsup
- 30 ml soy sauce
- 20 ml peanut oil
- 16 gr walnuts (chopped)
- 16 gr ginger (grated peeled fresh)
- 14 gr sugar
- 10 ml peanut oil in wok
- 8 gr cornstarch
- 16 ml rice vinegar
- 5 ml oriental sesame oil
- 1 gr cayenne pepper
- some watercress
onions and stirfry for 1 minute. Stir stock mixture, add to wok and cook sauce until clear and thick, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Spoon sauce and shrimp over watercress. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve. NOTE: I used Jufran sauce rather than catsup. Jufran is a Philippino sauce that's looks and tastes much like catsup. It's made from bananas and other stuff, however and has a more complex and interesting taste. I use it in place of catsup in many recipes as well as on hamburgers, hot dogs and corn dogs. It comes in both mild and hot forms. The mild is not too hot++somewhat like a spicy catsup. The hot stuff is much hotter, although not intolerably so. If you use this, be prudent about how much cayenne you use, at least the first time until you can see how they balance out. Makes four servings; about 265 calories per serving.
