 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
 2 teaspoons soy sauce
 1 teaspoon cornstarch
 1/4 teaspoon hot chili flakes
 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
 1 package (12 oz.) frozen shelled soybeans, thawed (see notes), or 2 1/4 cups refrigerated cooked shelled soybeans
 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
 8 ounces shelled, deveined shrimp (31 to 35 per lb.), rinsed
  Salt

Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, the ginger, and garlic to pan; stir just until garlic begins to brown, about 15 seconds. Add shrimp and stir until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes. Return beans to pan. Stir broth mixture and add to pan; stir until sauce boils and thickens. Add salt to taste. Pour into a serving dish.
