Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon (7g) Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) room temperature Water
  • ¼ cup (50g) Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (42g) Honey
  • ½ cup (120ml) reduced sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger
  • ¼ cup (60ml) Vinegar (a rice wine or apple cider works well)
  • 1 teaspoon minced Garlic (about 1 large clove)
  • 1½ lbs medium to large raw Shrimp, peeled & deveined1
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil or Olive Oil
  • 2-3 cups Noodle Beans (or your favorite stir fry veggie like snap peas, snow peas, green beans, etc.)
  • optional: Sesame Seeds and sliced Green Onions for garnish; Serve with Rice
Preparation Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your shrimp if it’s frozen. Thaw according to package instructions, and peel if needed. Place shrimp in a glass (or heat proof) bowl.
  2. Make the teriyaki sauce by whisking together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Then in a small sauce pan combine the soy sauce, cornstarch/water mixture, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Turn to medium heat and stir as the mixture starts to simmer. When it begins boiling (you can turn the heat up a little if you need to), let it boil for one minute so that it’ll thicken. Remove the pan from the heat.
  3. Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp, and stir until the shrimp is coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes uncovered on the counter.
  4. While the shrimp marinates, cook your rice. Once the rice is cooking, prep your veggie of choice. If using noodle beans, slice them into 1-2 inch pieces that are easy to eat.
  5. Once the shrimp has marinated, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add your sliced beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the beans are tender but still have a crunch. (Don’t overcook them.)
  6. Add the shrimp to the hot pan along with the rest of the sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes or until all of the shrimp are pink on each side. Remove the pan from the heat, and serve immediately over a bed of rice. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added color and flavor. Enjoy!!
