Ingredients (serves 2):
Thickening Solution:
*This recipe was developed for the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.
Brew Longjing tea with hot water and strain leaves. Reserve 1/3 cup of the brewed tea and the strained leaves and let cool.
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, Shaoxing wine, egg white, sesame oil, salt and cornstarch. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Turn the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle temperature control dial to 400ºF and preheat for 5 minutes. When preheating completes, add vegetable oil. Drain the shrimp and sauté for about 1 minute on each side.
Combine all the ingredients for the thickening solution in a small bowl, then add to the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle with the shrimp, mix well and cook for 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the shrimp are cooked through.
Mix in strained tea leaves to the griddle, then serve while hot.
