Instructions

  1. Prep before cooking: remove strings from the snap peas, slice the green onions, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, tear the mint, chop the cilantro, juice 1 lime for 2 tablespoons juice, cut the second lime into wedges, pat the shrimp very dry, and thinly slice the ribeye against the grain.
  2. Rinse 1/2 cup jasmine rice, combine it in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt, bring to a simmer, cover, cook on low for 15 minutes, then keep covered off the heat for 5 minutes.
  3. While the rice cooks, toast the remaining 1 tablespoon dry rice in a dry wok or skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and nutty; crush it coarsely with a mortar, spice grinder, or the bottom of a heavy pan.
  4. Stir together the sauce in a small bowl: 2 tablespoons lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, chile flakes, and 2 tablespoons water.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering; sear the sliced ribeye for 60 to 90 seconds until browned but still tender, then transfer to a plate.
  6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, add the shrimp, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until mostly pink; add the snap peas, green onion whites, garlic, and ginger, then stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes more until the peas are crisp-tender and the shrimp are fully opaque.
  7. Return the ribeye to the pan, add the sauce, and toss for 30 to 60 seconds just to glaze; turn off the heat, fold in the mint, cilantro, green onion greens, and toasted rice powder, then serve over jasmine rice with lime wedges.

Total time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: About $40–$46 for 2 generous servings using the listed ribeye, shrimp, snap peas, herbs, rice, and aromatics.

Health notes: Serves 2 generously; about 720 calories per serving with very high protein, moderate rice carbs, and crisp snap peas for fiber.

Drink pairing: Off-dry Riesling balances the chile, lime, and fish sauce without overwhelming the shrimp and ribeye.
