Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound thin spaghetti
Sesame oil, for drizzling
Low-sodium soy sauce, for drizzling
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons sherry or low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sriracha (more or less to taste)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 yellow onion, cut into large chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into large chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium zucchini, cut into large wedges
One 15-ounce can baby corn, drained, corn halved crosswise
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
Sesame seeds, for serving
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then drizzle with some sesame oil and a little soy sauce in a large bowl and toss.
  • For the stir-fry: While the noodles are cooking, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, sriracha and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, stirring continuously. Add the zucchini and stir it around, cooking it for 2 minutes more. Add the baby corn and broccoli and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • While the veggies are still firm, pour in the sauce. Stir the veggies in the sauce and cook until the sauce is very thick, 1 to 2 minutes more. If it needs to be a little saucier, pour in 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water and splash in a little more soy sauce.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SPICY GREENS



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Spicy Greens image

Whenever I use a red-tinged vegetable like amaranth in a dish I know the vegetable is bringing with it lots of antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, a flavonoid found in dark red and blue pigments. Use beet greens if you can't find amaranth; they will bring with them the same red pigments, which make for a richly colored sauce. For a beautiful meal, serve the stir-fry with red rice, like Bhutanese rice.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 jalapeño or serrano chiles, minced
3/4 to 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper, cut in 2-inch julienne
1 generous bunch amaranth (about 3/4 pound), stemmed and washed, or 1 generous bunch beet greens, stemmed, washed and roughly chopped (about 8 cups greens)
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise and cut in 1-inch lengths
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the broth, 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry and sugar in a small bowl. Combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, and the minced chiles in another bowl. Have all of your ingredients within reach of your wok or pan.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry, and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Stir together well. Lightly salt the shrimp and toss with the cornstarch mixture until coated.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add in the oil by pouring it on the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic, ginger and chiles and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the shrimp with any liquid in the bowl and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Add the amaranth (or beet greens) and scallions, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, add the broth mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the greens have wilted. Add the cilantro and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and serve with rice or noodles, red rice being my first choice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality your ingredients are, the tastier your stir-fry will be.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam than fry.
  • Use a high-heat cooking method: Stir-fries are best cooked over high heat. This will help to quickly sear the food and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the food: Stir-fries are a quick-cooking dish, so it's important to not overcook the food. Overcooked food will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a sauce or marinade: A sauce or marinade can help to add flavor and moisture to your stir-fry.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp and vegetable stir-fry is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your stir-fry is flavorful, healthy, and delicious.
