Seasoning:
- 10 dry red peppers
- 1 tbs Sichuan peppercorn
- 4 pieces of bay leaves
- 2 pieces of cassia
- 3 ~5star anise
- 1 tbs fennel
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 section of ginger
Step one: non-spicy soup
1. Add some water into a wok, then put bay leaves, star anise, cassia, Sichuan peppercorn and fennel to cook for 5 minutes. Pour out soup only and save in a bowl.
2. Heat up some oil in wok, put garlic and ginger in to stir-fry until smelling the aroma.
3. Pour the water cooked with seasoning into wok and simmer for 30 minutes. Save the soup in a bowl and set aside.
Step two: spicy soup
1. Heat up some oil again in a wok. Add doubanjiang or other chili paste to stir-fry until the oil becomes light red.
2. Take two teaspoons of soup cooked in step one and add to wok. Heating to boiling. Then save in a bowl.
NOTE: Now we should have two bowls of different soups. The first is flavor but not spicy and the second on is spicy.
Step three: main process
Heat up oil in wok, and then stir fry shrimp to golden-brown. I do not use deep fry for the consideration of health. But you can use deepf-fry in this step if you want to make the shirmp crisper.
Heat up some oil in wok; add ginger and garlic to stir-fry. Then put cooked red pepper and Sichuan peppercorn in and stir-fry with high heat.
Then add cooked vegetables and pork, one tablespoon of soup (non spicy one), sugar and salt to continue stir-fry until all the ingredients are surfaced with non-spicy soup.
Add the spicy soup averagely and garnish some roasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
