Instructions
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soya sauce, water, rice wine, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sugar. Whisk the ingredients together until the cornstarch and sugar are fully dissolved, then set aside to let the flavors meld.
-
Toast the Sesame Seeds: Heat a dry wok over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Once done, remove them from the wok and set aside to cool.
-
Sauté the Shrimp: Reheat the wok and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Swirl the oil to coat the wok evenly. Once hot, add the shrimp to the wok. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
-
Cook the Vegetables: In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat. Once heated, add the broccoli florets and sliced green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
-
Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and sliced water chestnuts to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burnt.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Push the cooked vegetables up the sides of the wok, creating a space in the center. Stir the prepared sauce to mix well and pour it into the center of the wok. Stir continuously until the sauce becomes bubbly and starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Finish the Dish: Add the cooked shrimp and optional baby corn to the wok, tossing everything together to coat the shrimp and vegetables in the garlic sauce. Heat through for another minute, ensuring everything is warmed and combined.
-
Serve: Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for a delightful crunch. Serve hot over jasmine or basmati rice for a complete meal that’s bursting with flavor.
