Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 garlic clove minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons slivered green onion divided
2 tablespoons slivered fresh ginger root divided
1 dash Asian chile sauce (sold in the Asian aisle of well-stocked supermarkets)
1/2 bok choy head
6 shiitake mushrooms
2 cups Chinese pea pods
8 jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined

Steps:

Stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon each of the green onion and ginger. Stir in the chile sauce to taste. Set aside. Cut bok choy crosswise into 1-inch slices, to make 6 cups. Bring water to boil in the bottom of a 2-quart saucepan with a steamer insert set over, but not touching, the water. Arrange the mushrooms in the steamer, top-side down. Place the bok choy over them and top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of ginger and green onion. Cover and steam over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Add the pea pods and shrimp. Cover and steam until the shrimp are pink and firm and the pea pods are crisp yet tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide between 2 plates and serve with some of the sauce (reserve the rest for another use). This recipe yields 2 servings.
