Savory Teriyaki Shrimp with Bok Choy

Savory Teriyaki Shrimp with Bok Choy

This delightful stir-fry features succulent shrimp combined with tender bok choy and vibrant vegetables, all coated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 head bok choy
• 1 pound shrimp
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vermouth
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons oil

Method

1. Begin by trimming the ends of the bok choy and separating the leaves. Rinse them thoroughly and set aside the leaves, discarding the stems while keeping the green and white parts apart.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat a splash of oil over high heat. Sauté freshly grated ginger for about a minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn a bright pink color and are opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the heat carefully to prevent burning.
4. Next, add the chopped white bok choy, broccoli florets, sliced zucchini, soy sauce, a splash of vermouth, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Cover and let it simmer until the bok choy begins to soften, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Stir everything well to combine the vegetables with the sauce, then sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
6. Add the green bok choy leaves on top, cover again, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the leaves are slightly wilted and the sauce thickens. Finally, give everything a good stir to coat it in the savory sauce and serve immediately.
