Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients: asparagus: 500g, shrimp: 16, cashew nuts: 2 small handfuls, salt: 6g, white pepper: 0.5g, cooking wine: 1 spoon, starch: appropriate amount, oil: appropriate amount.

   

2. 2 Wash the asparagus, remove the root part to make it more tender, and cut it into sections with a diagonal knife. Blanch the asparagus. When the water boils, add the asparagus. Blanch it briefly and turn off the heat immediately. Remove and cool, drain and set aside.

   

3. 3 Fried cashews. Pour a little oil into the pot, not too much. Because the color of the oil after frying cashews will become darker, it will affect the color of the dishes if used to fry light-colored dishes. If you have a lot of oil left after frying cashews, you don’t need to throw it away. It can be used to fry darker-colored dishes. Heat oil in a pan, add cashew nuts and fry over medium-low heat.

   

4. 4 Keep turning the cashews to ensure even heating. Never use too much firepower, otherwise the cashews will be easily fried black. When the cashews are a little lighter in color than we want, stop firing. Remove the cashew nuts to control oil and let cool until set aside.

   

5. 5 Remove the grit and wash the shrimps, add salt, cooking wine, and white pepper and marinate them at the bottom. Return to the pot, pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, and heat. At this time, apply a layer of dry starch on the marinated shrimp, just a thin layer, not too thick. After the oil is hot, fry the shrimps. When the shrimps are rolled, take them out and set aside.

   

6. 6 Re-heat the pot, add base oil to the pot, and when the oil is hot, add the asparagus and stir-fry. Because it has been blanched before, the frying time does not need to be too long.

   

7. 7 Pour in the shrimps and cashews, add salt, stir-fry evenly, and add an appropriate amount of water starch to thicken.
