Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Get out and measure your ingredients.
  2. Heat a wok over medium high heat.
Prepare the sauce.
  1. Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. While that heats, combine tamari, rice wine, hoisin, lemon juice, chili paste, and honey in a bowl with a pour spout. I usually use a measuring cup.
  3. Whisk until blended.
  4. Pour into the saucepan with ginger and garlic. Cover and bring to a boil.
  5. Meanwhile, dice the chicken and add to a large mixing bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon avocado oil, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Add to the wok and stir fry for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
  7. Add the shrimp to a large mixing bowl. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Add to the wok and stir fry for 1 minute.
  8. Remove shrimp from the wok and set aside.
  9. Once the sauce is boiling remove the lid and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Boil for 4 minutes, stirring frequently, and remove from heat. Set aside. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  10. Add half the vegetables and stir.
  11. Add remaining vegetables and stir fry for 5 minutes.
  12. Add the shrimp and chicken.
  13. Pour in the sauce. Cook for 3 minutes.
  14. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve. Enjoy every bite.

Notes

  • This stir fry tastes great on it's own but sometimes it's nice to add a side or two. Check out this awesome list we've created for you. You'll find exactly what you want to serve with your shrimp meal. Take a look and check it out.
  • Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. Cook them for no longer than specified in the recipe or they'll get tough and rubbery. When cooked, shrimps most should resemble the letter C.
