CASHEW SHRIMP STIR-FRY
This Cashew Shrimp Stir-fry is a Cantonese dish and an all-time favorite. Staying true to Cantonese cuisine, its flavor is mild and delicate--the shrimp are plump and crisp, and the cashews are crunchy and nutty.

Steps:
- First, prepare the shrimp. Toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, gently mixing everything together for a couple minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours and then rinse under cold running water for 5 minutes to wash away any sugar and baking soda. Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Marinate the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pinch of white pepper and set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Now, since the dish comes together very quickly, and you want to avoid overcooking the shrimp, it's time to blanch the celery and red bell pepper. Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop the celery and red bell pepper in. After 30 seconds, drain the vegetables and shock them in ice water. Drain completely and set aside.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and chopped scallion and cook for 1 minute. Then turn up the heat to high and add the shrimp. Once the shrimp have just begun to turn pink, add the blanched celery and red bell pepper, along with the last 1/4 teaspoon sugar, the oyster sauce, and the cashews. Mix everything well, and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Serve.

Steps:
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels; toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, oyster sauce, and 3/4 cup water.
- Heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high. Swirl in oil, then add shrimp in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add celery, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; cook, still stirring, 1 minute. Add cornstarch mixture; stir until sauce thickens and coats shrimp and vegetables, about 1 minute more. Stir in cashews; serve over rice, topped with celery leaves and more red-pepper flakes.
SHRIMP (OR CHICKEN) WITH CASHEW NUTS
This is so easy to prepare and the taste is incredible. I've adapted this recipe from More Long-life Chinese Cooking From Madame Wong and though it calls for deep-frying the shrimp, or chicken, I usually stir-fry it to make it easier and more healthy. I LOVE this recipe!
