directions
- Mix ingredients in #1 and marinate the shrimp for about 5 minutes.
- Heat up wok or skillet and add cooking oil. Stir-fry the shrimp until pink and just cooked and remove.
- Use oil left in pan and sauté the ginger root and green onions until fragrant.
- Add the broth #2 and bring to a boil, then add #3, bring it back to a boil again and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add shrimp back in and #4 to the stir to thicken. (Make sure to mix the cornstarch and water throughly before adding, it tends to settle if left for even a few seconds).
- Add sesame oil and transfer right away to a serving dish (the sesame oil is to enhance the flavor not used to cook the dish).

I'm married with 2 young children. Like lots of other folks, after getting married, I finally started learning how to cook when we got tired of take-out food. Watching Foodnetwork taught me lots of skills as well as inspired me to try. I haven't followed the shows much nowadays, but years ago my favorite chefs on FoodNetwork were Giada DeLaurentis, Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, and Paula Deen. I also watched 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray but never could make my meals in 30 minutes with her recipes! ;0)
My pet peeves are when people refuse to try something different, or after they've had one bad experience with a certain ingredient or food then they will never want to taste anything related or with it.
