Ingredients Showcase
- Shrimp: The star of this dish, shrimp not only cook quickly but are also a great source of protein and provide an excellent contrast to the crunchy vegetables.
- Vegetables: A colorful array of cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas, and carrots not only add visual appeal but also bring a range of textures and flavors to the dish. These vegetables are chosen for their ability to cook quickly while retaining a satisfying crunch.
- Aromatic Base: Garlic, ginger, and onions form the aromatic backbone of this stir fry, providing deep, foundational flavors that are quintessential to many Asian-inspired dishes.
Flavorful Stir Fry Sauce
The stir fry sauce is a blend of oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and a touch of cornstarch to thicken, balanced with Knorr seasoning for an extra layer of flavor complexity. This sauce melds beautifully with the ingredients, glazing them with a glossy, flavorful coating that enhances the dish without overpowering the natural flavors of the shrimp and vegetables.
Cooking Steps
- Preparation: Seasoning the shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch not only flavors the shrimp but also gives them a slightly crispy exterior once cooked.
- Cooking the Shrimp: Sautéing the shrimp until just pink ensures they remain juicy and tender.
- Sautéing Vegetables: The vegetables are stir fried just until tender-crisp, which maintains their texture and nutritional value.
- Combining with Sauce: Adding the sauce towards the end of cooking allows it to thicken just enough to cling to the shrimp and vegetables, enriching every bite with umami flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This stir fry is best served hot, straight from the pan. Pour it over a bed of freshly steamed rice or twirl it into some noodles for a more filling meal. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a few sprigs of cilantro to add a touch of freshness.
