Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the snow peas to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce over them. Stir to coat the shrimp and snow peas with the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
- Variation: You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, for added color and flavor.
- Spicy: For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or chopped fresh chili to the stir fry.
