Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp with the marinade for 15 minutes. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and stir to blend well.
- Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is heated, add the marinated shrimp to the wok and stir quickly until the shrimp is half cooked, or the surface turns opaque or white. Dish out and set aside.
- Clean the wok and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is heated, add the sliced ginger and stir-fry until you start to smell the gingery aroma. Add the snow peas, carrot, mushrooms, and cashew nuts to the wok, stir, and then add the shrimp back in, followed by the sauce.
- Continue to stir-fry continuously until the shrimp is cooked through. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water. Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
