Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 cup carrots into thin matchsticks and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes; drain and set aside. Trim 1 cup snap peas and cut 2 cups broccoli florets into small florets; steam for 3 minutes until crisp-tender and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Pat 8 oz shrimp dry. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque; transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the wok. Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic but not browned. Add blanched carrots, snap peas, and broccoli, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until vibrant green and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: Whisk together 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp honey in a small bowl. Pour sauce over vegetables and stir for 1 minute until glossy and coating vegetables evenly.
  5. Step 5: Return shrimp to the wok, toss to coat, and cook for 1 minute until heated through. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep broccoli florets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Genuine Vegetable Stir-Fry with Ginger-Soy Glaze?

How do I scale Genuine Vegetable Stir-Fry with Ginger-Soy Glaze for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
