STIR-FRIED SHREDDED ZUCCHINI WITH DRIED SHRIMPS (4 servings)
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 small carrot
- 1 Tbsp of cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- ½ cup of dried shrimps soak in warm water until soft and then roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini and do not peel off the skin. Trim both ends and use mandoline to julienne the zucchini. Peel the skin off carrots and cut into julienne as well
- Preheat a wok or large skillet. Add in cooking oil and stir-fry the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add in the chopped dried shrimp and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute or so. Add in the julienned carrot and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until they are started to get soft and add in the zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes or until they are soft but not mushy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat to serving platter and serve with rice and other dishes immediately
Notes
If you are using fresh shrimps , peeled and devined and cut into large chunks and then add them in after you saute the garlic and cook until they turn pink and dish them out and continue with the rest of the instruction on recipe and add the shrimps back in after the zucchini is soft. We don't want to overcook the shrimps
