Ingredients
  

  • Hunan Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Stir Fry
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups chopped green beans
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions plus extra for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing the Hunan sauce. In a small bowl, combine Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, chili paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, vegetable broth, and cornstarch. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth, then set aside.
  • Next, prepare the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season with salt and pepper, then toss them in cornstarch to coat evenly. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, and add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they cook evenly and reach a golden, crispy texture. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the chopped green beans and sauté until they begin to soften and take on a slight brown color. This step should take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Return the shrimp to the pan and pour in the prepared Hunan sauce. Add the sliced green onions and continue stirring. Allow the sauce to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until it thickens and evenly coats the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Serve the Hunan Shrimp over a bed of rice and garnish with additional green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Enjoy your homemade, flavorful dish!
