Black-Bean Prawns with Chinese Broccoli

Ingredients for Black-Bean Prawns with Chinese Broccoli

• 180ml homemade chicken broth (reserved from winter melon soup ) or store-bought chicken broth (reduced-sodium if canned)

• 45ml Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry

• 3 teaspoons light soy sauce (preferably Pearl River Bridge brand)

• 2 cuillères à café de fécule de maïs

• 1 cuillère à café de sucre

• 1/4 cuillères à café de sel

• 675g gai lan (Chinese broccoli)

• 675g large prawns in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled and deveined

• 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil

• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks

• 2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped

• 2 gousses d'ail, hachées

• 1/2 fresh jalapeño chilli (including seeds), or to taste, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices

• 1 cuillère à café d'huile de sésame asiatique

• a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Stir together broth, rice wine, soy sauce, cornflour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until cornflour is dissolved.

Remove any bruised or withered outer leaves from gai lan, then trim and peel stalks, halving thick ones lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 2 1/2-inch pieces, separating leafy parts from thick stems.

Cook stems in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add leafy parts and cook until all of gai lan is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry. Transfer to a large dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.

Pat prawns dry. Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly. Pour peanut oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side. When oil just begins to smoke, add ginger and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add black beans, garlic, and jalapeño and stir-fry 1 minute. Working quickly, add prawns, spreading in 1 layer on bottom and side of wok. Cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes, then stir-fry until prawns are just pink on both sides, about 1 minute more. Stir broth mixture, then add to prawns and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil, then stir to combine.

Pour prawns and sauce over gai lan.
