How to Make Stir Fried Shrimp In Garlic Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon chile paste (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon dry sherry.
  2. Set aside.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 3 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 cup of your favorite chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas) and 2-3 Thai chilies (optional), thinly sliced.
