   Step 3

   After the shrimp are steamed, prepare a sauce in a bowl by mixing steamed fish soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a little water (the steamed fish soy sauce is a bit salty). Pour the sauce over the shrimp, then sprinkle with chopped green onions, shredded ginger, a few peppercorns, and dried chili peppers. Finally, pour hot oil over the shrimp to enhance the aroma.

   Step 4

   Heat oil in a pan, add minced garlic and simmer over low heat. I used rapeseed oil, which is quite yellow; I recommend using salad oil for a better appearance. Once fragrant, add a little sugar, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and simmer for a while longer. Finally, add a pinch of chicken bouillon.
