Instructions
Stir together broth, rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until cornstarch 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.
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 jalapeo and stir-fry 1 minute. Working quickly, add shrimp, spreading in 1 layer on bottom and side of wok. Cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes, then stir-fry until shrimp are just pink on both sides, about 1 minute more. Stir broth mixture, then add to shrimp and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring, 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil, then stir to combine.
Pour shrimp and sauce over gai lan.
Cooks' note:Gai lan can be trimmed and cut 1 day ahead and chilled in sealed plastic bags lined with paper towels. Bring to room temperature before using.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. One wine you could try is Alsace Willm Pinot Gris Reserve. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.
Alsace Willm Pinot Gris Reserve
An intense golden color with hints of ocher, the wine has a nose of ripe fruit, quince. In the mouth the attack is both supple and full, with notes of honey and spices. The final perfectly balances sugar and acidity.Pair this wine alongside pan-fried foie gras, grilled or roasted white meats (pork, veal), rabbit, poultry in cream sauce, smoked fish, mushroom dishes such as risotto.
