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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh scallops that are dry to the touch and have a briny smell.
- If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops will work just as well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- To get a nice sear on the scallops, make sure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding them.
- Don't overcrowd the scallops in the wok or skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry the scallops for only a few minutes, until they are opaque and cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Add the snow peas and sauce to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for a few more minutes, until the snow peas are tender-crisp.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This spicy scallop and snow pea stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the snow peas are tender-crisp. The sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
