Ingredients

300 g Fresh white shrimp (about 10-12 pieces)

15 g Garlic (3-4 cloves)
15 g Mature ginger (4-5 slices)
5 g Coriander roots (3 roots)
1 tsp Black peppercorns
2 tbsp Light soy sauce
2 tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tsp Dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Sesame oil

Instructions

1
Soak the Dried glass noodles in water until soft, then drain and set aside.

4
Place a skillet or clay pot on the stove over medium-low heat. Add Coriander roots, Garlic, Mature ginger, and Black peppercorns. Sauté until fragrant.
5
Pour the seasoned Dried glass noodles into the pan, then place the Fresh white shrimp on the very top.
6
Cover the pot or pan and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the Fresh white shrimp are cooked and the Dried glass noodles have absorbed the sauce perfectly.
7
Open the lid, sprinkle with Chinese celery, cover for another 30 seconds, then turn off the heat and serve.

Chef's Tips

•Do not soak the glass noodles for too long, or they will become mushy instead of chewy when cooked.
•If you like it spicy, you can crush some bird's eye chilies and add them with the spices.
•Use medium-low heat during baking to prevent the bottom from burning before the shrimp are fully cooked.
