My name is KP Kwan. Taste of Asian food is about my recipes, experience, and culinary skills gained from my hard work. Whenever I am free, I document all my recipes as a reference for my staff and colleagues. I have also taken numerous pictures of the entire cooking process of my Asian food recipes. With all this information at hand, I thought it would be a good idea to share this with everyone so that they could reproduce my time-tested recipes at home. That is why I finally decided to put all the information together and set up this YouTube channel. Enjoy watching my Taste of Asian Food channel.

Video Description

A simple recipe with just a few ingredients is ideal when I am busy. I made a classic Cantonese stir-fry with shrimp and broccoli for dinner tonight. The idea is to keep things simple, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. All you need is a head of broccoli, some medium-sized shrimp, and Chinese seasonings that you might already have in your kitchen pantry. The resulting dish is flavorful and nutritious. We always serve it with steamed rice in our family. It is also perfect as a stand-alone meal or a topping for noodles or spaghetti. Try it! You'll love the delicious flavor and simplicity of preparing it. ======================================= Recipe: (Please download the recipe and read the full details at https://tasteasianfood.com/shrimp-and-broccoli/ ) Ingredients A (season the shrimp) 250g shrimp (see note) 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp ground white pepper 1 tsp vegetable oil Ingredients B (stir-fry sauce) 2 tsp light soy sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 1/8 tsp ground white pepper 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp water Ingredients C (others) 180g broccoli (weight is after cut) 4 clove garlic, chopped 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine 1 tsp cornstarch (make 1 tbsp cold water to form the cornstarch slurry) Method Prepare the shrimp and broccoli - First, remove the head, shell, legs and devein. - Clean the deveined shrimp thoroughly with cold running water. - Drain in a colander, then use paper towels to remove excess moisture. - Season the shrimp with ingredients A. - Cut the broccoli florets into smaller pieces. - Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for two minutes, remove, and drain.
