Instructions
- Make sauce: whisk soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Heat wok/skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil.
- Add shrimp in a single layer; cook 60–90 seconds until just turning pink. Flip 30–60 seconds. Remove to plate (slightly underdone is fine).
- Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic + ginger; stir 10–15 seconds.
- Add bok choy (cut-side down if halved). Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until stems are crisp-tender and leaves wilt.
- Return shrimp and any juices. Pour in sauce (re-whisk first). Toss 30–60 seconds until glossy and shrimp are cooked through.
- Finish with sliced green onions and pepper. Serve hot.
Health notes: Lean protein, lots of micronutrients. Keep sauce light by using less oil and only a small cornstarch slurry.
Drink pairing: Green tea, pilsner, or Sauvignon Blanc.
