Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut off the head of the crayfish, pull out the shrimp intestines, clean them with a brush, peel the garlic, cut the ginger into large dices, wash the peppercorns, and cut the dried peppers and set aside.

   

2. 2 Pour oil into the wok, and when the fire is 80% hot, add dried pepper and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry.

   

3. 3 Add shrimp balls and stir-fry until the tails of the shrimp curl up and turn red. Add salt and cooking wine and cook until fragrant.

   

4. 4 Add a small spoonful of spicy sauce, vinegar, chives, and an appropriate amount of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Fully add the sauce into the shrimp to absorb the flavor. When the water is almost dry, add a little chicken essence to taste, add a tablespoon of sugar, increase the heat, and stir-fry until the sauce dries up, becomes thick and shiny, and evenly wraps around the shrimp balls.
