Stir-fried River Shrimp

　　Chop the scallions, ginger, and place them in a plate with the shrimp. Turn the heat to high, pour in oil — a bit more than usual — then add the plate with the shrimp. Sprinkle in some salt, stir-fry briefly until the shrimp turn red. Lower the heat, pour in the stirred sweet and sour sauce, stir-fry for less than a minute, sprinkle some minced garlic, then serve. The pan used for stir-frying the shrimp will have plenty of delicious juices. Take a small bowl, fill it with water, rinse the pan with it, then pour the liquid out and set it aside to use for adding moisture when stir-frying vegetables later — the flavor is very rich. Much better than MSG.

　　This dish has very appealing color, is great value for money, and takes only about three minutes to prepare. It’s an absolute must-learn for lazy cooks. Buy a few pounds, store them in the fridge, and just take them out before eating — super quick and convenient.
