Shrimp Stir-Fry with Sugar Snap Peas

Stir-fries make popular, quick and easy meals for the whole family, especially if you have a quantity of chicken stock prepared ahead in the freezer. This particular recipe can also be made with fresh uncooked shrimp.

Ingredients

Marinade

Sauce

Directions

1. Mix together the beaten egg white, cornstarch and seasoning, and marinate the shrimp in this mixture for about 10 minutes.
2. To make the sauce, mix together the stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and vinegar. In a small bowl mix 3 tablespoons of the sauce with the cornstarch until smooth and then stir this into the rest of the sauce. Pour the sauce into a saucepan; bring to a boil, and then simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the scallions and season with a little white pepper.
3. Strain the marinade from the shrimp and discard. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan and sauté the shrimp for about 2 minutes then set aside.
4. Heat another tablespoon of oil in the pan and swirl the beaten eggs around to form a thin layer, and cook until set. Remove from the pan and fold it over three times like a Swiss roll, cut into strips, and set aside.

5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and sauté the garlic and onion for 2 minutes. Stir-fry the corn, button mushrooms, and sugar snap peas for 6 minutes. Add the shrimp, egg strips, and the sauce and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
