EASY Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry (20 min)
Report
This easy Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry recipe is a delicious recipe on the dinner table in 20 minutes. Best enjoyed with a bowl of white rice! (It's Japanese-inspired so the sauce is a little spicy, but I also show you how to make authentic Japanese Teriyaki Sauce if that's what you prefer.)

Ingredients
- 1-2 Tablespoons vegetable cooking oil Use a neutral flavoured one
- 2 inch ginger peeled and sliced into matchsticks
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
- 21 oz Shrimp (600g) Peeled. You can use frozen shrimp but you they should weigh 600g after defrosting.
Spicy Teriyaki Sauce
- 8 Tablespoons sake Substitute: shaoxing wine
- 4 Tablespoons light soy sauce
- 4 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon rice vinegar Substitute: Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha Omit if you don't like spice
Garnish
- 1 prig spring onion sliced. You can also garnish with sliced red chilies if you like it spicier.
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Mix the light soy, sake, dark soy, vinegar, and honey.
- Over high heat, heat a wok. Add the oil and heat till the oil is shimmering (just before smoking.)
- Add the ginger- be careful as the oil will splatter a bit- and stir fry till fragrant. Add the garlic and sauté till fragrant. This will only take seconds. Note: garlic burns easily so if you're not proficient with stir frying, reduce to medium-high heat.
- Add the prawns and stir fry till cooked. Plate the prawns.
- Add the mixture of sauces to the same wok and simmer till the sauce has reduced and thickened. (see above for photos.)
- Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and drip off very slowly (like molasses), return the shrimp to the wok, stir to coat for a minute or so, then switch off the fire.
- Garnish with the spring onions and sesame oil.
Notes
- Best enjoyed with a bowl of rice to soak up all those teriyaki juices!
- Note: the sauce can get diluted because some juices run out of the prawns when you're simmering the sauce, and they dilute the thickened teriyaki sauce (when you return the prawns to the pan.) You'll either need to simmer for longer if that happens, or not add the juices to the pan.
- Note: for an authentic Japanese teriyaki, use the sauce from this teriyaki meatballs recipe instead.
