Ingredients:
- 200g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 150g prepared gluten (or make it from wheat flour by washing dough)
- 2 bell peppers (sliced), 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp oil, salt to taste
Steps:

2. Cook the gluten: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Fry gluten until golden and slightly crispy (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. Stir-fry shrimp: Add more oil to the wok. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant (30 seconds). Toss in shrimp and stir-fry until pink (1-2 minutes). Remove shrimp.
