Ingredients
For the stir fry:
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 cups mixed vegetables (you can use snow peas and sliced bell pep pers)
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 packages brown rice
Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds
For the sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
For the sauce:
Place the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and sesame oil in a small pot over medium high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.
For the stir fry:
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables have started to brown and soften. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, until water has evaporated. When your vegetables are crisp tender remove them from the pan and set aside.
Wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan over high heat.
Place the shrimp in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until just cooked through (shrimp should be pink and opaque).
Add the vegetables back to the pan. Pour the sauce over the top and cook for 1-2 minutes over medium high heat until warmed through.
Serve over brown rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
