Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cucumber, cut small chunk
• 1 tablespoons cooking oil (for stir-frying)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1/2 cup carrot, thinly cut
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, cut small chunk
• 1/2 cup sliced hams
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the White Sauce:

• 1 cup chicken broth

• In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink and opaque, usually 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed.
• Add cucumbers, carrot, yellow onion, and sliced ham. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
• Return the cooked shrimp to the wok with the vegetables.
• Pour the prepared white sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
