STIR FRY SWEET & SOUR PORK OR CHICKEN OR SHRIMP

Stir Fry Sweet & Sour Pork or Chicken or Shrimp image

This is one of my all time favorites, in any of it's incarnations. It's from the little booklet that came with my first wok. I found it in a box of stuff I hadn't been into in years. It got me started on a stir fry binge. It's been fun to relive some of the fun I've had learning to stir fry. Like most stir fries this one's quick, easy, and delicious. Yield, prep, and cooking times are a guess.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on
1 Tbsp fresh, grated ginger
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 medium onion, cut into 4 wedges
2 oz canned pineapple, blended with 7 ounces pineapple juice
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 handful of snow peas
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 Tbsp honey, or to taste
1 lime, juiced, or to taste
1 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

1. Heat a heavy, non-stick skillet or wok over high heat, add 2 tablespoons peanut oil.
2. Stir-fry the shrimp until they turn pink, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining oil; add the ginger, onions and red pepper flakes; stir-fry until the onions are tender-crisp, another 2 or 3 minutes.
4. Add the pineapple puree and let the sauce reduce for 1 minute.
5. Add the bell pepper pieces and snow peas. Stir gently. Season with salt, black pepper, lime juice, and honey to taste.
6. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes.
7. Return the shrimp to the pan, stir well, and sprinkle with the finely sliced spring onion.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite rice.

Tips:

To save time, use frozen shrimp that has been deveined and peeled.
If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
If you like your stir-fry more saucy, add a little more soy sauce or water.
Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles.
