Quick Overview
The recipe results in a fragrant and savory dish of shrimp, tofu, and napa cabbage cooked together in a rich sauce made from garlic, red pepper, soybean paste, and oyster sauce, yielding a dish that is highly appealing to both the elderly and children.
Key Points: One jin (a unit of weight, likely 500g) of shrimp was purchased for 30 RMB (00:03-00:04) and prepared by deveining and trimming legs/antennae (00:05-00:13). The shrimp are seasoned by scoring the back, then mixing with ginger shreds, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, and white pepper powder, marinating for ten minutes (00:15-00:38). Napa cabbage is prepared by cutting off the root, washing thoroughly, and slicing diagonally before being placed at the bottom of a clay pot (00:39-00:58). A block of firm tofu is cut into thick slices, pan-fried over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, drained of excess oil, and layered over the cabbage in the clay pot (01:00-01:57). The marinated shrimp are stir-fried in the residual oil from frying the tofu until fully colored and shrimp oil is rendered (01:58-02:07). A sauce base is created by stir-frying diced red pepper and minced garlic in shrimp oil until fragrant, then adding soybean paste, oyster sauce, and two spoonfuls of light soy sauce, mixing thoroughly off the heat (02:18-02:36). The sauce is poured over the shrimp and tofu/cabbage mixture in the clay pot, covered, and simmered on high heat for five minutes, finishing with a sprinkle of chopped scallions (02:39-03:07).
