Method

  1. 1 Rinse the fermented soybeans once with water, then mash them coarsely. If you don't rinse the fermented soybeans, the whole dish will be extremely salty.
  2. 2 Peel the shrimp, make a slit along the back, pat dry, and toss with a little cornstarch.
  3. 3 Sauté the shrimp over the highest heat for 60 seconds until they turn slightly red, then remove them from the pan.
  4. 4 Sauté the garlic and ginger, then add the crushed black beans and stir for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. 5 Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 90 seconds to keep them crisp.
  6. 6 Add the shrimp, season with sugar, then mix in some cornstarch to coat the shrimp with the sauce and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
