Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First, let's prepare the ingredients needed to make this "Stir-fried Corn, Pea and Shrimp": It is best to use tender sweet corn for stir-frying with peas and shrimp, because the color is relatively fresh. When eaten with green peas and red shrimp, the color is bright and the taste is sweet. Children will like it. Sweet corn is also sold in the market in winter. When choosing corn, you should choose corn that is free of insects. Due to seasonal reasons, if you cannot buy fresh green peas, you can also use frozen ones. Appropriate amounts of ginger and garlic are used to remove the fishy smell from the shrimps. There are some leftover shrimps from other dishes, so use them to make a stir-fried shrimp with corn and peas for your children.

   

2. 2 This dish doesn't use up a whole corn, just peel off some of the corn kernels with your hands, enough to stir-fry a plate of vegetables. The corn kernels peeled by hand will contain corn silk. Before cooking, wash the corn kernels and green peas and drain them. Finally, chop the ginger and garlic into fine pieces and set aside.

   

3. 3 Add an appropriate amount of water to the wok, bring to a boil over high heat, and blanch the corn kernels and green peas. When the water is boiling, blanch the two ingredients for about 1 minute. When the corn and pea kernels float, take them out with a slotted spoon and put them in a basin of cold water to cool. Alternate hot and cold to make the corn crispier. Blanching the ingredients can reduce cooking time and better retain the sweetness and deliciousness of corn and peas.

   

4. 4 Pour the corn kernels and green peas in cold water, drain and set aside, because this dish needs to be thickened and fresh, and the color will be more crystal clear and tender.

Just pour in the blanched corn and peas and stir-fry over high heat. When frying this dish, you need to work as fast as possible, because if you fry for too long, the shrimp meat will become stale and unpalatable.

   

7. 7 Stir-fry the corn, shrimp, and green peas evenly, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, pour the prepared starch juice into the pot in a circular motion before serving, and coat the corn, peas, shrimp, and green peas with a thin layer of gravy.
