Traditionally, this recipe uses small, shell-on river shrimp, which are incredibly sweet. If you can’t find them, don’t worry! Small salad shrimp, rock shrimp, or even standard raw prawns (peeled and deveined) will work beautifully.

Also known as green onions, these provide a fresh, mild onion flavor. Fresh Ginger: A 1-inch piece, peeled and thinly sliced or minced. Salt: a generous pinch, or to taste. Chinese Cooking Wine: 1 tablespoon. This is often called “Huangjiu” (yellow wine) or, more specifically, Shaoxing wine. It’s a key ingredient in many stir-fries, used to remove any fishiness from seafood…

For the Stir-Fry (serves 2 as a side dish): Garlic Chives: 1 large bunch (about 8 oz or 225g). These are flat, wide chives with a distinct but mild garlicky flavor. Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms: A small handful (about ¼ cup). These are thin, dark fungi that expand significantly when soaked.

It’s a wonderful way to explore new ingredients and flavors without intimidation. Let’s gather our tasty components! Here’s what you’ll need: For the Core: Lotus Root: An amount that feels right for your meal – perhaps 1-2 medium-sized roots. This is the star, offering a wonderful, slightly crunchy texture and subtle sweetness. You can usually find fresh lotus root in Asian grocery stores. If fresh isn’t available, you might find frozen sliced lotus root, which works well too after thawing. Pork Shoulder (or Pork Belly): About 1 pound (approximately 450g) of ground pork. Pork shoulder (or “front leg pork” as it’s sometimes called) is ideal for its balanced fat content, making the filling juicy. If you can’t find shoulder, regular ground pork (ideally 80/20 or 70/30 lean-to-fat ratio) is a perfect substitute. For the Flavor Boosters: Scallions (Green Onions): A small bunch, finely chopped. These add a fresh, aromatic kick. Peanut Oil: Enough for frying, about 2-3 tablespoons. Any neutral cooking oil like vegetable or canola oil will work just as well. Cornstarch: 2-3 tablespoons, divided. This acts as a binder for the meat and helps create a lovely golden…

The original recipe uses frozen pre-portioned fillets, so feel free to use fresh or frozen—just be sure to thaw frozen fish completely first. Glass Noodles: About 2 oz (50g) of dried glass noodles.
