What you need
Quantities for 3 servings
| Peeled shrimp | 200 g |
|---|---|
| Dried shiitake mushrooms | 3 pcs |
| Water chestnuts or onion | 80 g |
| Garlic, minced | 1 tbsp |
| Spring onion, chopped | 1 tbsp |
| Neutral cooking oil | 1 tbsp |
| Soy sauce | 1 tbsp |
| Rice wine | 1 tbsp |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
| Cornstarch slurry | 1 tbsp |
| Butter or oakleaf lettuce leaves | 9 leaves |
How to make it
- Soak the dried mushrooms until soft, squeeze them dry and dice them with the water chestnuts.
- Rinse the shrimp, pat them dry, dice them and toss with a little of the rice wine.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the garlic and the white parts of the spring onion until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms and water chestnuts and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook until they change color, about 1 minute.
- Add the soy sauce, the rest of the rice wine and the sugar, stir, then pour in the cornstarch slurry to thicken lightly.
- Wash and drain the lettuce leaves. Spoon in the filling, sprinkle with spring onion, and wrap to eat.
Tips
- Dry the shrimp well so they do not release water in the pan.
- Put the hot filling on cold leaves. The contrast of hot and cool is part of the fun.
- If someone at the table is allergic to shellfish, use chicken or tofu instead.
