STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER
In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
- In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
- Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
- Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the snow peas or sugar snap peas. Boil 30 seconds, and transfer immediately to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, drain and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of the corn starch, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the rice wine or sherry, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the shrimp, and stir together to coat.
- Place the remaining corn starch, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and sugar in another bowl. Add the stock, and stir together well. Set aside.
- Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately upon contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and turn the heat to medium. Add the ginger and garlic, and stir together for about 20 seconds, then add the red pepper and the white and light green parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the pepper begins to soften. Stir to the side of the pan. Add the remaining oil and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for two minutes, stir in the snow peas or snap peas, and continue to stir-fry for another two or three minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Give the sauce a stir, and add it to the pan along with the dark green ends of the scallions. Stir everything together with the sauce until the shrimp and vegetables are lightly glazed. Serve hot, with rice.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp, peas, and ginger for this stir-fry. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Peas should be plump and bright green. And ginger should be firm and free of blemishes.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch helps to tenderize them and gives them extra flavor.
- Stir-fry in a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting a good stir-fry. Preheat your wok over high heat before adding the oil and shrimp.
- Don't overcrowd the wok: Stir-frying is best done in small batches. If you overcrowd the wok, the ingredients will not cook evenly.
- Stir constantly: Stirring constantly helps to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok and ensures that they cook evenly.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process helps to keep the vegetables crisp and prevents the sauce from becoming too thick.
Conclusion:
Ginger shrimp and pea pod stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
