Description

This easy shrimp stir-fry flavored with garlic, honey, and veggies gets done in just 15 minutes. Use fresh or frozen shrimp and veggies. Serve over rice, noodles, or on its own.

Ingredients 

For the stir-fry

  • 2 cups (250 g) Shrimps cleaned, veined and shelled
  • 2 cups (250 g) Bell peppers sliced into long strips
  • 3 tablespoon Canola oil (divided)
  • ½ cup Green onions (or shallots) chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic thinly sliced
  • ½ inch (1 cm) Ginger thinly sliced
  • 4 oz (113 g) Tofu sliced into long strips
  • ¼ cup Parsley or cilantro chopped

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoon Soya sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Fish sauce or 1 teaspoon Dashi powder
  • 1 teaspoon Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Clean, vein, shell, and pat dry the shrimps. Cut the peppers into long ¼ inch strips - and set aside. Dice the tofu into long thin pieces similar to the peppers.
    Tip - Keeping the tails on the shrimps looks more presentable for serving but it's a personal choice.
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in the small bowl - and set aside.
    Tip - Cornstarch will set to the bottom of the sauce so you will need to mix it again before adding it to the pan
  • Heat the wok on high and add one tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the shrimps and stir fry for 3 minutes until they turn pink and almost cooked. Remover from the pan and set aside.
    Tip - We remove the shrimps from the pan now so we don't overcook and make them rubbery.
  • To the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil and lightly brown the tofu on all sides - remove and set aside.
    Tip - Don't be afraid to let the tofu caramelize on all sides. We take the tofu out as it can break when stir-frying.
  • Next, add another tablespoon of oil to the wok - saute ginger, garlic. Then, add the bell peppers. Stir-fry for two minutes on high.
  • Return the tofu and shrimps back to the pan along with the sauce and green onions. Stir-fry for two minutes until everything is well combined.
    Tip - Keep the heat on medium so the liquid has time to coat everything before it dries out.
  • Finally, sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro. Garnish with more green onions.
  • Enjoy!
