Shrimp or Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry (One of Beth’s favorite)

By Steve-3

Ingredients

• 1/2 cabbage, chopped
• 1 large carrot, julienned (this means about three toothpicks thick, and 1 1/2” long.
• 1 Yellow onion, medium in pieces
• 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced, lengthwise
• 1/2 red pepper, same as above
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced (notice it says medium size, as cloves vary)
• 1/2 pound shrimp, deveined
• 2 teaspoons tamari
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

In a very hot wok or large pan, put oil and all vegetables and seasonings all at once and stir fry, constantly stirring on high for 4 – 5 minutes, or until veggies are soft (like Beth). Take out veggies with slatted spoon (Beth bought one, sometimes she lets me use it), and set aside. Put shrimp in remaining juices and stir fry till cooked. Does not take long, usually a few minutes. Add veggies, toss together. Serve hot.
