Ingredients
- 450 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined, medium size)
- 200 grams Snow peas (trimmed)
- 150 grams Water chestnuts (sliced, canned or fresh)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and season them with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the snow peas and water chestnuts to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
Step 7
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the shrimp and vegetables.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
