I use ‘Garlic, Soy Sauce and Mirin’ to season many dishes. It is my favourite flavour. Today I used those three to season this Stir-fried Choy Sum & Dried Shrimps. The amount of this dish that I cooked today was supposed to be 2 to 3 servings, but I confess I ate all of it.

Steps

5 minutes plus soaking time

1

Place Dried Shelled Shrimps in a small bowl and add Boiling Water just enough to cover. The amount of Boiling Water would be about 3 tablespoons. Set aside for 15 minutes.
2

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a separate small bowl.
3

Wash Choy Sum very well, cut into 5cm long pieces, and separate hard stem parts and green leafy parts.
4

Heat Sesame Oil in a frying pan, cook hard parts of Choy Sum over high heat for a few minutes, then add the soaked Dried Shrimps with all water. Stir for a few minutes as the water evaporates and helps cooking process.
5

Add leafy parts and stir, add the Sauce, and stir until the leafy parts are cooked. Serve immediately with freshly cooked Rice.
