Categories     Shrimp Stir-Fry

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or to taste
½ teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
1 tablespoon thinly sliced ginger
1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli - cut into florets, stems peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
⅔ cup onion, cut into long slices
⅔ cup red bell pepper, cut into long thin strips
⅔ cup carrots, cut diagonally into thin slices
⅔ cup fresh snow peas, trimmed
1 pound large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
2 cups cooked rice, or to taste
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, chicken broth, orange juice, fish sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil in a large jar with a lid. Close and shake until sauce is well combined. Set aside.
  • Heat peanut oil in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until garlic and ginger are lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and discard.
  • Add broccoli, onion, bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas to the seasoned oil and cook, stirring quickly, until vegetables are tender-crisp and brightly colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

  • Add stir-fried vegetables back to the skillet, and pour in sauce.
  • Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add to the sauce, stirring to remove any lumps. Keep stirring quickly, until thickener is incorporated into the entire dish. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and shrimp will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: If you add too much food to the wok at once, it will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the food in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry on high heat: High heat is essential for a good stir-fry. It will help to sear the food and create a nice wok hei, or "breath of the wok."
  • Use a good quality wok: A good wok will distribute heat evenly and help you create a great stir-fry. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the shrimp is still tender.

Conclusion:

Sesame shrimp and broccoli stir-fry is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can create a stir-fry that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
