Plantation Shrimp with Shiitake Mushrooms and Baby Bok Choy

Preparation

1. For stir-fry sauce:

   Step 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the chicken stock, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2. For shrimp:

   Step 2

   Peel the shrimp and slice in half lengthwise. Remove any veins. Wash the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.

   Step 3

   Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a dry, clean towel or brush. Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices. Wash the baby bok choy and cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside to dry.

   Step 4

   Heat a frying pan or wok on high heat until smoking. Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into the pan. Add the shrimp and cook it until it changes color (20 to 30 seconds). Remove from pan and set aside.

   Step 5

   Without cleaning the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add mushrooms and bok choy and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

   Step 6

   Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Then add the rice wine and continue to stir. Add the stir-fry sauce and cook until shrimp is fully cooked, about 15 seconds.

   Step 7

   Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice. Any remaining sauce may be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen.
