Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, strings and stems removed
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
3 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
3 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths, dark green parts separated

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.

  • For the freshest snow peas: Look for snow peas that are bright green and have a slight snap to them. Avoid snow peas that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • To prepare snow peas: Simply remove the strings from the sides of the snow peas. You can do this by pinching the stem end of the snow pea and pulling it down the length of the pea.

When stir-frying, cook snow peas over high heat for a short amount of time, until they are tender-crisp. When steaming, steam snow peas for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender. When boiling, boil snow peas for 1-2 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • To store snow peas: Snow peas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store them in a plastic bag or container with a damp paper towel to help keep them fresh.
