Sweet Soy Ginger Sauce

Method

Preparation of Sweet Soy Ginger Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 2

    Prepare the shrimp

    Rinse the jumbo shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the shells and devein if necessary.

  2. 3

    Sear the shrimp

    In a large wok or skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the wok in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 4

    Combine with sauce

    Pour the prepared sweet soy ginger sauce over the seared shrimp in the wok. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish the dish

    Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your 7 Dragons Drinking at the Well!
