This recipe calls for shrimp, but you can substitute an equal amount (1 lb. for 4 servings) of raw, thinly sliced chicken or beef. |
Ingredients: |
|
2 T. |
|
oil (Peanut or canola) |
|
1 lb. |
|
shrimp, peeled & de-veined |
|
2 whole |
|
carrots, peeled and thinly sliced |
|
3 stalks |
|
bok choy, chopped |
|
1 pkg. |
|
sliced mushrooms |
|
1/2 sm. |
|
onion, thinly sliced |
|
1 clove |
|
garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. powder for every clove) |
|
1 can |
|
sliced water chestnuts, drained |
|
1 can |
|
baby corn |
|
2 T. |
|
fresh ginger root, peeled and grated |
|
1/2 c. |
|
"Teriyaki Marinade" or bottled teriyaki sauce |
|
1/2 c. |
|
cold water |
|
1 T |
|
cornstarch |
|
1/2 c. |
|
soy sauce |
Directions: |
|
If desired, marinade the meat and use the marinade instead of Teriyaki sauce and oil (search for recipe for "Teriyaki Marinade").
For shrimp only: cook until done and then remove from pan.
For meat: cook in oil on high heat until almost done using a large pot or wok. Leave in the pan as you cook the vegetables, assuming you have the space in your pan (if you're using a wok, move the meat to the outside edges to make room in the center for you to cook the vegetables).
Chop the bok choy into 1/2 inch pieces for stem and 1 inch pieces for leaves.
Add veggies, garlic, water chestnuts, baby corn, ginger root, and Teriyaki sauce. Cook on high to medium heat until done, stirring often.
In a watertight container, mix cold water, cornstarch and soy sauce. Shake well. Add liquid to stir-fry veggies and meat (put the shrimp back in at this point).
Boil until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.
