Shrimp Stir-fry
by Jen Keating
serves: 4
  This recipe calls for shrimp, but you can substitute an equal amount (1 lb. for 4 servings) of raw, thinly sliced chicken or beef.
Ingredients:
  2 T.   oil (Peanut or canola)
  1 lb.   shrimp, peeled & de-veined
  2 whole   carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  3 stalks   bok choy, chopped
  1 pkg.   sliced mushrooms
  1/2 sm.   onion, thinly sliced
  1 clove   garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. powder for every clove)
  1 can   sliced water chestnuts, drained
  1 can   baby corn
  2 T.   fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  1/2 c.   "Teriyaki Marinade" or bottled teriyaki sauce
  1/2 c.   cold water
  1 T   cornstarch
  1/2 c.   soy sauce
Directions:
  If desired, marinade the meat and use the marinade instead of Teriyaki sauce and oil (search for recipe for "Teriyaki Marinade").

For shrimp only: cook until done and then remove from pan.
For meat: cook in oil on high heat until almost done using a large pot or wok. Leave in the pan as you cook the vegetables, assuming you have the space in your pan (if you're using a wok, move the meat to the outside edges to make room in the center for you to cook the vegetables).

Chop the bok choy into 1/2 inch pieces for stem and 1 inch pieces for leaves.

Add veggies, garlic, water chestnuts, baby corn, ginger root, and Teriyaki sauce. Cook on high to medium heat until done, stirring often.

In a watertight container, mix cold water, cornstarch and soy sauce. Shake well. Add liquid to stir-fry veggies and meat (put the shrimp back in at this point).

Boil until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.
