About this dish

The bell pepper is cut to roughly the size of the shrimp, so shrimp, broccoli and pepper land evenly in each bite.

Seasoning is a tablespoon each of soy and oyster sauce, with five sliced garlic cloves fried in the oil first.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Peel and devein 220 g medium shrimp, then pat them dry so they sear instead of steaming.

    Toss with 1 tablespoon cooking wine and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and let them season for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut 180 g broccoli into bite-size florets and blanch in boiling water for only 40 seconds.

    Transfer straight to cold water to stop the cooking, then drain very well so the stir-fry sauce stays concentrated.

  3. 3

    Cut 70 g bell pepper into pieces close to the shrimp size so everything cooks evenly.

    Slice 5 garlic cloves thinly, and keep 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce beside the stove for quick seasoning.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a pan over medium heat and stir-fry the sliced garlic for about 30 seconds.

    When the edges turn lightly golden and fragrant, add the shrimp before the garlic darkens.

  5. 5

    Raise the heat to high and stir-fry the shrimp for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, moving them often.

    Once the outside turns pink, add the bell pepper and cook 1 more minute to keep it crisp.

  6. 6

    Add the broccoli, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, then toss quickly over high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes.

    Stop as soon as the sauce coats everything glossily and the shrimp are just cooked through.

Tips

Short blanching keeps broccoli from watering down the stir-fry.
Avoid overcooking shrimp; finish when the sauce coats the ingredients glossily and the shrimp are just cooked through.
