Ingredients: 1 pitaya, 200g fresh shrimp, 1 egg white, 2 celery, starch, salad oil and salt.
Exercise:
1. Peel the fresh shrimps (sand shrimps) and suck up the water on them with a dry cloth.
2. Salt for a while, drain and squeeze with a dry cloth. Put the shrimp into the egg white, add the dry starch and stir in one direction. Finally, add salad oil and stir (to prevent the shrimps from sticking together after being put into the pot) and let stand for 10 minute.
3. Wash celery and cut into sections, peel pitaya and wash onion and cut into sections.
Don't burn the oil pan too hot. Put the shrimp in the pot and turn it clockwise with chopsticks. When the color changes, it will be out of the pot.
5. Put the oil, stir-fry the celery stalk, pitaya, chopped green onion and shrimp, and stir-fry them out of the pot.
