Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 10 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 cup small white button mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating a generous amount of oil in it until it reaches an extremely high temperature. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger in the scorching hot oil until they emit a strong aroma, approximately 30 seconds. Introduce the water chestnuts, snow peas, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir constantly until the shrimp changes color and becomes pink, taking around 2 to 3 minutes.

In a separate container, mix the chicken broth, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and dry sherry. Pour this mixture into the pan with the shrimp; stir briefly to merge the ingredients. Combine the cornstarch and water in another bowl, stirring until it forms a smooth paste. Introduce this mixture into the wok and stir constantly to thicken the sauce, approximately 2 minutes.
