A Chinese inspired dish
Ingredients
1/4 lb Snow peas
1/2 lb shrimp
1 med onion
1 Green bell pepper
1 ~2" piece of ginger
1/4 pound mushrooms
2 cups white rice
salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs vinegar
1~2 tbs Sesame oil
1~2 tbs water
1 tbs flour
1~2 tbs sugar
clove of garlic (minced)
Bring 3 cups of salted water to a boil while rinsing the rice. When at a boil, add the rice, reduce to medium heat and cover.
Halve the onion and slice both halves into smile shaped strips. Cup the mushrooms into ~ 1/4 chunks. Cut the snow peas in half then slice the ginger into thin strips. Peel and slice the shrimp into chunks (if you want). Slice the green pepper into strips.
Pour some oil into a large frying pan (or wok if you have it) and put on a medium heat. Then add the vegetables, salt and pepper to taste, and let cook for 5~10 mins until the onions and mushrooms begin to sweat out, stirring occasionally.
In the mean time, add the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and sugar in a small sauce pan and put on a med heat. Whisk together until all the sugar has dissolved, then add the flour continuing to whisk until all the lumps are out. Let it simmer for a few minutes until a thicker consistency is reached. If it is too thick or two strong you can add some water to thin it. leave it on a low heat, with occasional stirring to prevent a skin from forming.
Next add the shrimp to the frying pan. When they begin to turn pink, you can pour the sauce in and stir.
Give a scoop or two of the stir fry on top of a few scoops of rice and eat.
