I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Saucy Shrimp Chop Suey

This classic stir fry is quick and easy with juicy, plump shrimp. So saucy you could serve it over rice or noodles. Great busy night dinner!

Ingredients:

2 tbsps vegetable oil

300 g (3/4 lb) shrimp

1 onion, sliced thinly

1 carrot, sliced thinly

1/2 large red bell pepper, sliced thinly

3 large radishes, sliced thinly

3 cups bean sprouts

1 tbsp chopped chives

1 cup chicken broth

2 tbsps hoisin sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsps soy sauce

1 tbsp grated ginger

2 tsps minced garlic

1 tsp sesame oil

pinch red pepper flakes

1 tbsp cornstarch

black sesame seeds to garnish

Mix the broth, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and red pepper flakes together and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok to medium high and add the onion, carrot, bell pepper, radishes and chives. Stir fry 5 minutes. Make a well in the center and add the shrimp. Once turning opaque on one side flip and add the bean sprouts. Cook another 3 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce and pour into the wok. Mix together and heat through for about 1 minute to thicken. Serve garnished with sesame seeds. Serves 2
