Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 14 oz peeled and deveined shrimp to the wok, stir-frying for 2 minutes until they start turning pink but are not fully cooked.
Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp rinsed and roughly chopped fermented black beans, 6 oz trimmed snow peas, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1/2 tsp sugar, and 2 tbsp water. Continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and the snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender.
