 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      tablespoon    ginger
  1      tablespoon    garlic
  1      tablespoon    green onions
  1                    green hot pepper
  3      cups          chicken stock
  1      cup           soy sauce
  2      teaspoons     sesame oil
  2      teaspoons     cornstarch -- up to 3
  2      teaspoons     water
  1      cup           peanut oil
  2      pounds        shrimp
    1/2  cup           flour
  1                    bell pepper -- chopped
  1                    red pepper -- chopped
  1      tablespoon    white wine -- up to 2
  1      medium        onion -- chopped

Grind ginger, garlic, green onions and green hot pepper to a paste.  Set
aside.  Reduce the chicken stock and soy sauce to 2 cups.  This will take
10--15 minutes.  Season with white pepper and add sesame oil.  Thicken with
cornstarch that has been dissolved with water.  Heat the peanut oil until it's
very hot.  Then add the shrimp that have been lightly dusted in flour.  Give
shrimp 2--3 minutes in the hot oil and add vegetables for another minute.
Don't over-cook.  The vegetables are mostly for color, and it's not necessary
to use all the vegetables unless you want to.  Drain the oil by holding a lid
over the shrimp and vegetables.  Add the paste until lightly browned.  Finish
with a splash or two of white wine.
