Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Before you begin cooking, gather all your ingredients. This makes the cooking process smoother and faster.
Step 2: Create the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, mix together the cornstarch, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and vegetable broth. Stir until well combined and smooth. This will be the luscious sauce that brings everything together.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink and opaque, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 4: Stir-fry the Vegetables
  1. In the same pan, toss in the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent. Next, add the carrots, bell pepper, and cremini mushrooms. Stir-fry these for about 3-4 minutes until they're tender but still crisp.
Step 5: Add the Remaining Ingredients
  1. Next up, add the bok choy and snap peas. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Step 6: Combine Everything
  1. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it over the shrimp and veggies. Toss everything together, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients. Cook everything for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 7: Serve Hot
  1. Once everything is heated through and the shrimp are perfectly cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve your chop suey immediately, over a bed of rice or with crunchy spring rolls on the side.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables retain their nutrients and flavor. Look out for seasonal produce!
  • Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: They cook quickly. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery.
  • Customize the Sauce: If you like it a little spicier, add a teaspoon of chili paste.
  • Make it Ahead of Time: This dish can be made ahead! Just reheat before serving.
  • Double Up: If you’re cooking for a crowd, simply double the ingredients for leftovers that reheat beautifully.
