Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Shrimp (marinated for tenderness and flavor depth)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (adding a savory umami punch)
- 2 tablespoons Rice Cooking Wine (enhancing the dish with a subtle sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar (balancing the savory notes with its sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (for that nutty aroma you’ll love)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch (ensuring your shrimp has a lovely glossy finish)
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for that perfect non-stick sizzle)
- 1 lb Cabbage (cut into pieces for a delightful crunch)
- 1/4 cup Water (used to steam the cabbage until soft and tender)
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (to deepen the flavor profile of the stir fry)
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar (a hint of sweetness to tie all the flavors together)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (adding the finishing touch to your dish’s aroma)
- Salt to taste (enhancing the overall flavor symphony)
- Black Pepper (optional) (adding a mild kick to your savory creation)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shrimp with soy sauce, rice cooking wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 15-30 minutes to soak in all those delicious flavors.
- In a wok or a large pan, add the tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it over medium-high. Once hot, quickly add the shrimp and stir fry for about 1 minute, ensuring they turn pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
- If the pan looks dry, add a bit more oil. Toss in the cut cabbage and stir fry for about 1 minute. Then, pour in the ¼ cup of water and cover with a lid, letting it steam for about 2 minutes until softened.
- Once the cabbage is tender, uncover and stir fry it briefly. Return the shrimp to the pan, adding an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and salt to taste. Stir fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until everything is cooked through.
- Remove from heat, dish it out, and enjoy this colorful meal that comes together so effortlessly!
