This simple Chinese stir-fry has a fresh balance of flavours. Keep the calorie count down by using boiled rice noodles instead of stir-fried rice. Ingredients:
10 ounces raw peeled jumbo shrimp |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped |
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped |
1/2 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped |
1 (6 ounce) jar sweet and sour sauce |
1 ounce cilantro, chopped, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Rinse the shrimp and remove the black vein if necessary.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok (or non-stick frying pan) and stir-fry the shrimp until they turn from grey to pink.
3. Add the garlic, ginger and scallions and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Add the red chili and stir-fry for a further minute.
4. Finally, add the sweet and sour sauce and cook for a couple of minutes until the mixture is bubbling.
5. Scatter with the chopped cilantro and serve at once with boiled rice or noodles.
