The best part of doing it is that the measurements don't have to be exact. If you prefer, substitute dry sherry for rice wine. Serve with rice.

I usually like to add a little low sodium soy sauce just before serving. Attractive dish, great as part of a Chinese meal or any meal. For added color throw in some shoestring carrots - They cook very quickly and only need 1 minute befor adding the snowpeas.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Snow Peas and Ginger image

In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, washed and dried
1 scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
  • In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
  • Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.
