  • Shrimp with cashew nuts

      Quite similar to my own version of this dish with the addition of hoisin sauce which gave it a little bit of sweetness. I also changed the order of cooking the different ingredients. I fried the nuts in a bit of oil first. After removing the cashews, I sauted the ginger and scallions, then added the shrimp, the rice wine, then the hoisin and the water and sesame oil and finally threw the cashews back it. This way, the cashews did not spend too much time in the sauce and stayed crunchier.
