Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces medium raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 onion, cut into 1/2 inch squares
1 small red jalapeno chile, sliced
2 ounces diced bamboo shoots
1/2 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • Place a wok or wide frying pan over high heat until hot. Add the oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the onion, jalapeno, and bamboo shoots; stir fry for 1 minute. Add the sauce and cook until heated through. Add the peanuts and toss to coat.
