  2. Heat the oil in a wok until smoking. Sear the shrimp for 1 minute per side and remove.

  3. Stir-fry the broccoli for 3 minutes with a splash of water.

  4. Pour in the sauce and stir until it thickens, then return the shrimp for 1 minute. Serve over the rice.

Small Things That Help

  • Dry the shrimp.
  • Mix the sauce before you start.
  • If your hob runs hot, work faster.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp.

If You're Missing Something

  • A quarter-teaspoon of ground ginger per tablespoon of fresh is the standard ratio if you are working from the spice rack rather than a fresh root.
  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.

Serving Suggestions

  • Steamed rice
  • Sesame seeds
  • Spring onions
  • Noodles
