Shrimp marinated in soy sauce with egg whites

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Eggs: Hard-boil eggs (10 minutes), cool, peel, and separate whites from yolks (discard or save yolks for another use). Slice whites into bite-sized pieces.

   • Corn: Boil corn for 5–7 minutes until tender, then cut into chunks.

2. Cook Shrimp:

   • Steam shrimp with ginger and cooking wine for 3–4 minutes until pink. Let cool, then peel if needed.

3. Make the Sauce:

   • In a heatproof bowl, mix minced garlic, chilies, chili powder, and sesame seeds. Heat 2 tbsp oil until shimmering, then pour over the mixture to bloom the flavors.

   • Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, chili oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt until well combined.

4. Assemble:

   • In a large bowl, combine shrimp, egg whites, and corn. Drizzle with the sauce and toss gently to coat.

   • Garnish with extra sesame seeds or herbs if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

• For extra crunch, add shredded cucumber or pickled radish.

• Replace tamarind oil with a squeeze of lime for brightness.
