Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

FAQ

Some prefer to soak seafood in milk before cooking to keep it from tasting too fishy.
You can choose to add oil, cornstarch and water to lightly coat your shrimp and keep them moist. Some cooks do it religiously. Others velvet shrimp if it is anything less than super-fresh and skip velveting and cook the shrimp as-is to preserve the fresh taste and texture of the shrimp.
It involves marinating the shrimp in a mixture of cornstarch, and other seasonings like soy sauce, rice wine, or sesame oil. After marinating, the shrimp are quickly blanched or fried in hot oil until they are just cooked through.
Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds.
It may sound minor, but the combination works wonders: the salt helps keep the shrimp nice and moist as they cook, while alkaline baking soda delivers a crisp, firm texture.
