SZECHUAN SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine shrimp marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the shrimp, mix well and set aside.
• Prepare hot chili oil by heating the oil in a sauce pan until it just starts to smoke, then pour the hot oil over dry chili flakes in a small glass or metal container. Let cool down then strain into a separate container. The hot chili oil can be prepared hours, even days in advance. If making ahead, let the chili flakes soak in oil for hours before straining - this will give you more flavor and heat.
• Heat one tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok. Add the shrimp with the marinade and stir-fry, stirring frequently, until she shrimp just starts to turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook. Transfer the shrimp into a bowl and set aside.
• In the same wok, heat another tablespoon of peanut oil. Add the ginger, garlic, shallots and one teaspoon (or more, see note) of hot chili oil. Saute for about 30 seconds, then add the broccoli, bell peppers and the stir fry sauce. Stir fry for about 3-5 minutes, until broccoli is cooked. Add the scallions, sesame oil and the shrimp and saute for another minute, mixing all the ingredients well.
• Serve hot, as is or with a bowl of jasmine rice.

SZECHUAN SPICY EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Remove the eggplant stem and cut into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, chicken stock, chili sauce, sugar, ground black pepper and oyster sauce. Stir together well and set aside. In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, and set aside.
• Coat a large, deep pan with cooking spray over high heat and allow a few minutes for it to get very hot. Saute the garlic, half of the green onions, ginger and dried shrimp, if using (see Cook's Note) for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they begin to brown. Stir in the ground beef or pork and cook for 3 more minutes, again stirring constantly, until browned.
• Pour the eggplant into the pan and stir all together. Pour the reserved soy sauce mixture over all, cover the pan, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're using fresh shrimp, add it during the last few minutes of cooking. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and let heat until thickened. Finally, stir in the rest of the green onions and the sesame oil.
