Recipe Instructions

  1. Boil Broth Mixture:

    • In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sherry wine to a gentle boil. Once boiled, remove from heat and set aside, keeping it warm.
  2. Prepare Cornstarch Slurry:

    • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry. Set aside for later use.
  3. Stir Fry Aromatics:

    • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir fry the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green onions for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Cook Shrimp:

    • Add the jumbo shrimp to the wok and stir fry for approximately 2 minutes or until they are barely opaque. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set them aside.
  5. Stir Fry Pea Pods:

    • In the same wok, add another tablespoon of cooking oil if needed. Stir fry the pea pods for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Combine Ingredients:

    • Pour the previously prepared broth mixture into the wok with the pea pods. Bring it to a boil.
  7. Add Shrimp:

    • Once the broth mixture is boiling, add the cooked shrimp back into the wok. Stir well to combine and heat the shrimp through.
  8. Thicken Sauce:

    • Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the wok while stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.
  9. Serve:

    • Serve the Ginger Shrimp and Pea Pod Stir Fry immediately with steamed rice on the side. Enjoy this delicious and savory dish bursting with Asian flavors! 🍚🥢

Tips and Variations

  • For extra heat, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli to enhance the nutritional value and texture of the stir fry.
  • Substitute shrimp with chicken, beef, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
