Ingredients

- 5 oz garlic scapes
- 2 oz dried shrimp
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 4 tsp sugar
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice wine
Instructions
- 1
Wash and clean garlic scapes and then cut each of the garlic scape stems 1.5 inch long. Use just the stems and discard the the stringy parts including the flower buds.
- 2
Measure about 2 oz of dried shrimps and 5 oz of cut garlic scapes. It would be nice if I can just say a bunch but each bunch size is so different, it's hard to say...it should be roughly about 1 cup each. Not a huge deal if there's a bit more or less. You will just have to adjust the seasoning.
- 3
Make sauce by mixing 4 tsp sugar, 4 tsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp rice wine. Set aside.
- 4
Heat a frying pan on medium high heat drizzled with 1 Tbs vegetable oil.
- 5
Add garlic scapes and stir fry for 1 min.
- 6
Add dried shrimps and stir fry for 1 min.
- 7
Add sauce and lower heat to medium. Stir fry for 2 min or so until evenly coated and sauce is mostly reduced.
- 8
Turn heat off and sprinkle sesame seeds. Transfer to another dish or plate. Don't leave it in the pan because it will end up cooking too much in residual heat.
