Categories     Fish     Onion     Pepper     Soy     Vegetable     Dinner     Healthy     Self     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dark (toasted) sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated ginger
1 cup large-diced red bell pepper
1 cup large-diced green bell pepper
1 cup large-diced onion
1 cup cubed cabbage
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
24 large shrimp, shelled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add soy sauce mixture; cook until lightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add vegetables and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are soft, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Divide among 4 bowls; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and chop all your vegetables and tofu. This will save you time and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
  • Use High Heat: A hot wok or skillet is essential for a successful stir-fry. This will help to sear the vegetables and tofu, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Wok: Cook your vegetables and tofu in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok. This will help to prevent them from steaming instead of frying.
  • Add the Sauce Last: Stir in the sauce just before serving. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This spicy veggie stir-fry is a quick, easy, and flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, it is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this stir-fry a try.
