STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER
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.

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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced produce.
- Don't Overcook the Snow Peas: Snow peas are best when they are crisp and tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will help you get a nice even cook on the vegetables.
- Add the Vegetables in Stages: Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet in stages, starting with the ones that take the longest to cook. This will help ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked evenly.
- Stir-Fry Constantly: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important to stir the vegetables constantly to prevent them from burning.
- Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the vegetables at the very end of the cooking process. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
