Instructions

Prepare the shrimp

Prepare the small shrimp into peeled shrimp. Marinate evenly with 1.5 g each of scallion, ginger, salt, and MSG, plus 1 g white pepper and 5 g cooking wine. Just before cooking, pick out the scallion and ginger, then coat the shrimp with 12 g wet cornstarch and egg white batter.

Prepare the accompaniments and sauce

Peel the fava beans and split them in half; blanch in boiling water, then rinse under cold water. Slice both the scallion and ginger. Combine 3 g MSG, 3 g salt, 8 g wet cornstarch, 8 g cooking wine, and the broth to make a sauce.

Stir-fry to finish the dish

Leave a little oil in the wok, quickly stir-fry the fava beans, then add the shrimp and toss a few times. Pour in the prepared sauce; once it bubbles and thickens, toss to coat evenly and serve.
