Recipe Instructions

Marinate the shrimp in salt, pepper, egg white, & cornstarch for 30 minutes. Heat wok hot & dry. Add oil. When just beginning to smoke, add shrimp, stirring quickly so that pieces separate. After 2 minutes, drain through colander or sieve, reserving 2-3 tbs. oil.

Prepare the Hot Sauce. Return reserved oil to wok. Add garlic & onion, letting them brown slightly. Add water chestnuts, mushrooms & shrimp. Blend in Hot Sauce & flip contents of wok for 1-2 minutes or until everything is hot. Place on serving platter & sprinkle with chopped scallions.

Note: Flipping wok is better than stir-frying since the food is not touched in any way.
