1

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce. Set aside.

2

Bring a pot with a few inches of water to a boil. Add 2 oz carrot, 6 oz broccoli, 8 oz cauliflower, and 2 oz snow peas and cook for 1 minute. Remove the vegetables from the pot and drain them under cold water. This step helps to retain their crispness and bright colors.

In a non-stick skillet, heat 3 tbsp canola oil over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

4

Add 9 oz shrimp. Cook and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.

5

Stir in 2 oz white mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes.

6

Toss in 2 oz pak choi and the parboiled vegetables and stir fry for 1 minute.

7

Add 2 oz red bell pepper and 1 oz red onions to the pan. Stir and cook the mixture for 1 minute.

8

Pour the sauce into the pan and toss until thickened and the sauce sticks to the vegetables.

Garnish with 2 tbsp scallion and serve over hot rice.
