SHRIMP AND VEGGIE CHEAT SHEET WITH HOISIN DRESSING
Hoisin is a Chinese sauce made of soybeans. It has a strong flavor: it's a little sweet, a little salty, a little umami. It's kind of like a Chinese barbecue sauce!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Whisk the hoisin, soy, vinegar, Dijon, ginger, sesame oil and garlic together in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil. Add the bok choy to the bowl, then toss, then transfer them to one side of the baking sheet. Add the red pepper to the bowl, then toss in the remaining marinade, and transfer them to the center of the baking sheet. Toss the shrimp in the remaining marinade and arrange it on the last side of the baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the vegetables and shrimp. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are starting to char, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (The bok choy can be chopped into smaller pieces if desired.)
- Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Add a few shrimp and the vegetables to each bowl. Top with the sesame seeds, scallions, peanuts, crunchy noodles and cilantro. Drizzle with the sriracha, if using. Serve warm!

Steps:
- Whisk the barbecue sauce, chili-garlic sauce and 1/3 cup water in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and add to the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned and starting to curl at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until just opaque, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bok choy, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the barbecue sauce mixture and the shrimp. Toss until evenly coated and heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Heat the rice as the label directs. Top with the stir-fry and serve with lime wedges.

SPICY GINGER PORK NOODLES WITH BOK CHOY
Spicy, brawny and full of ginger and garlic, these pork noodles are a play on dumplings, but easier to make at home. If you don't have the black vinegar to sprinkle on top of the sliced ginger, you can simply leave it out. Or try substituting balsamic, which is a bit sweeter, but has similar caramel notes to play off the ginger's pungency.

SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE
Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

Steps:
- Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer. Rinse and spin or pat dry. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil. In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green. When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over the bok choy and toss lightly to coat.

SPICY SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS
I found this recipe on a website a few weeks ago and it was wonderful! If you do not like extremely spicy food try adding a 1/2 cup of coconut milk right after you add the shrimp and cook just until the coconut milk has thickened and the shrimp is cooked through.

Steps:
- fry
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Shrimp: Opt for large, firm, and deveined shrimp to ensure the best texture and flavor. Look for shrimp that are wild-caught or sustainably farmed.
- Prepping the Asparagus: Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and cut them into 2-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Selecting Fresh Bok Choy: Choose bok choy with bright green leaves and crisp white stalks. Avoid any signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Creating the Spicy Sauce: Use a combination of chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey to create a well-balanced spicy sauce. Adjust the amount of chili sauce based on your desired level of spiciness.
- Cooking the Shrimp: Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat to preserve their tender texture and prevent overcooking. Shrimp should turn opaque and pink when cooked through.
- Stir-Frying the Vegetables: Stir-fry the asparagus and bok choy in a hot oiled pan until they are tender-crisp. This usually takes just a few minutes.
- Combining the Ingredients: Once the shrimp and vegetables are cooked, combine them in the pan with the spicy sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
