Simple & easy to make. I liked the blandness of sauce, it allowed flavors of food to come through. Added chopped celery & broccoli; at end stirred in bean sprouts. Topped with toasted slivered almonds. Will try this with chicken next, and follow the suggestion of adding water chestnuts & mandarin oranges.
Garlic-Ginger Shrimp Stir-Fry
Family traditions often vary classic recipes. In this case, there's no soy sauce in the stir-fry-rather, the shrimp is salted first, a fantastic adaptation that causes the shrimp to become a little firmer, almost crisper over the heat.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups stir-fry and 3/4 cup rice)
