Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large head broccoli, sliced into florets

Sauce

  • 2/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup rice wine
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of water

Instructions

  1. Mix the sauce
    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, chicken broth, rice wine, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in ¼ cup of water and set aside.
  2. Stir-fry the broccoli
    Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until it reaches your desired tenderness. Transfer the broccoli to a plate and set aside.
  3. Cook the shrimp
    Add a little more oil to the wok if needed. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 15 seconds, just until fragrant. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
  4. Finish the dish
    Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and bring it to a boil. Cook for about 1 minute, then stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Return the broccoli to the wok, toss to combine, then remove from the heat and serve immediately.
