Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- chives 1 bunch
- medium shrimp 8~10 pieces
- vegetable oil 3 tablespoons
- oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- Wash the chives thoroughly, trim the tips, and cut into 3cm lengths. Separate the thick white parts from the light green parts.
- Remove the guts from the shrimp, then split the backs in half to open them like a butterfly for preparation.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, then add the prepared shrimp and cook over high heat.
- Once the shrimp begin to curl and cook through, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and stir-fry together to evenly distribute seasoning.
- Add the thicker white parts of the chives first and stir-fry rapidly over high heat for about 30 seconds.
- Then add the green parts of the chives and quickly stir-fry for about 30 seconds until they just wilt slightly, then immediately turn off the heat.
- Cut chives into 3cm pieces, separating the white and green parts; split shrimp in half.
- Heat generous oil in a pan, stir-fry shrimp, then add oyster sauce to flavor.
- Stir-fry the white chive parts first, then add the green parts and quickly toss to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- The white part of chives is thicker and takes longer to cook, while the green part wilts quickly—separating and cooking them in sequence ensures even crispness.
- If there’s not enough oil, heat won’t distribute evenly, causing the chives to become watery and tough—use plenty of oil and maintain high heat throughout.
- Serve the finished dish wrapped in flower bread or piled on top of rice as a delicious bowl meal.
