Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 cups Bok choy (baby or regular, chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili paste
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or any neutral oil for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sriracha (or chili paste), honey, and sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.

Step 2

Make a cornstarch slurry by combining the cornstarch and water in a separate small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the bok choy and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the leaves are wilted and the stalks are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet with the bok choy. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
