2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 egg white
1 teaspoon rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Shrimp with Chili Sauce

1/2 lb Shrimp, shelled & deveined
1 Onion, sliced thinly
3 tb Chili sauce
Salt
3 tb Oil

Prepare shrimp and onion.

Heat oil in wok to smoking point. Stir fry shrimp and onions in it for about 2 minutes. Add salt and chili sauce. Stir everything together and cook about 2-3 minutes longer.

NOTE: Shrimp do not require a great deal of cooking time, so do not overcook as they will have a tendency to become "tougher" in texture.
