I really love stir-frys.
I get some sort of weird culinary high when using my wok.
Anyway, couple years ago I was on a major stir-fry kick, and I tried a ton of recipes.
Over the next three weeks I will share my
three favorite healthy stir-frys.
Don't be scared away by the word "healthy."
They are good.
Healthy Stir-Fry #1: Shrimp, Spinach and Mushroom
You will need:
1 lb of fresh, medium shrimp {deveined and tailless}
10 oz of fresh baby spinach
1 lb of shitake mushroom caps
a good-sized chunk of fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp sesame oil
2 Tb soy sauce {low-sodium}
2 Tb sherry or rice wine vinegar
1 tsp packed brown sugar
1. Whisk together soy sauce, sherry and brown sugar in a small bowl.
2. peel and finely chop your ginger
Mmmmm....mushrooms!
3. Add the sesame oil to your wok - which should be on high heat.
4. When the oil is hot, add your mushroom caps and stir-fry about 2 minutes.
5. Add the shrimp, garlic, ginger and stir-fry one minute.
Take a sip of wine. That's the stuff.
6. Add the spinach and the soy mixture. It will seem like a ton of spinach. That's normal.
7. Stir the spinach into the mixture for a couple minutes, until it is wilted.
Serve with jasmine rice...so delish!
Garlic and ginger goodness...not to mention super-healthy spinach!
Next week I'll share my absolute favorite healthy stir-fry...tangy salmon and tomato!
You'll faint, it's so good.
