⏱ Prep: 0 min ⏱ Cook: 400 min

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup light soy sauce (Kikkoman)
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.25 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 0 canola oil
  • 1 lb snow peas, ends trimmed
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut thinly in a bias
  • 2 stalks celery, cut thinly in a bias
  • 12 quail eggs, hardboiled and peeled
  • 0.5 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 clove garlic, peeled and minced

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, water, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, cornstarch, sugar, and pepper. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved.

  2. Heat 1 oil in wok or wide pan on medium heat. Add snow peas and cook for about 10 seconds. Take them out of the pan and drain on paper towels.

  3. Add carrots and celery to pan and cook for about 30 seconds or until half done. Take them out of the pan and drain on paper towels.

  4. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, if needed. Add shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or just until they turn pink. Take them out of the pan and drain on paper towels.

  5. Drop in the garlic, onion and sauté just until they soften.

  6. Stir stir-fry sauce mixture to disperse cornstarch and add to wok. Get it boiling.

  7. When it begins to thicken, add shrimp, quail eggs, celery, carrots, and snow peas. Keep cooking for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.

  8. Serve while hot.

  9. Have your mise en place set up ahead of time. Since stir-fries are typically cooked quickly, it’s important to have the vegetables, shrimp, and other ingredients washed, cut, and ready to be added to the hot wok.
