INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
½ teaspoon minced ginger
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¾ cup water
¼ cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons coarse ground pepper
1 pound peeled medium shrimp
½ cup cornstarch
1 cup vegetable oil
4 thin quartered lemon slices
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 large green onions
1 cup bean sprouts
Dash of salt and pepper


1. To make the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large saucepan over medium heat.
Sauté the garlic and ginger for about 15 seconds.
2. Add the soy sauce, then dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add to the pan.
3. Add brown sugar, lemon juice and black pepper and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer for 2
minutes, then remove from the heat.
4. Coat all the shrimp generously with cornstarch. Let the shrimp sit for about 5 minutes so the
cornstarch will adhere better.
