Jamie Oliver's Shrimp Stir Fry

Sorry for the bad photo, I wish I could capture the DELICIOUSNESS of this dish in a picture! Oh my goodness, this turned out so good! Found the recipe in Jamie Oliver's book, Food Revolution. It's just so fresh and crisp, overflowing with veggies and brightness! And the rice noodles were a great switch on the typical rice. Light and yummy!

Hardly-Any-Prep Shrimp Stir-Fry

a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
2 fresh red chiles
bunch of fresh cilantro
peanut oil
1/2 pound large shrimp, raw and peeled
1 heaped tsp five-spice powder
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 c fresh corn kernels
handful of snow peas
2 T soy sauce
juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
handful of frozen peas
7 oz rice sticks or vermicelli
handful of bean sprouts

Put a large pan of water on to boil. Peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic. Finely slice the chiles. Roughly chop the cilantro.

Preheat a wok or large frying pan on a high heat and once it's very, very hot add a good lug of peanut oil and swirl it around. Stir in the cilantro stalks, ginger, garlic, chile, shrimp, and five-spice powder, and fry for a minute. Add the cornstarch, corn, and snow peas and give them a good toss or stir for another minute. Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and frozen peas. Add the rice sticks to the pan of boiling water and use a wooden spoon to break them up a bit. Cook for just 2 minutes, no longer. Drain the rice sticks in a colander over a bowl, reserving the cooking water. Add a large spoonful of the cooking water to the wok and cook for a further minute or two.

Use tongs to divide the rice sticks between your serving bowls. Spoon the shrimp, veggies, and any juices over the top and sprinkle with the beansprouts and cilantro leaves.
