In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and soy sauce for the shrimp. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside.
1 pound large shrimp, 3 Tablespoons soy sauce, 1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch
Prepare your sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk. Set aside.
¼ cup chicken stock, ¼ cup orange juice, ¼ cup white vinegar, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons hoisin sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Prep your vegetables and have them ready to go. Drain the corn and water chestnuts, trim and chop the pepper, and slice the green onion. If your baby corn is long spears, cut into bite sized pieces.
Preheat your large skillet over medium high heat.
When hot, add a Tablespoon of oil.
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until the side touching the pan is turning pink and the bottom half of the shrimp toward the pan is white instead of clear.
Flip the shrimp and continue cooking until the shrimp is cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes more. The middle crevice down the back of the shrimp will be white instead of clear.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another Tablespoon of oil.
Add all of the vegetables and cook 2-3 minutes until still crisp but starting to soften and get a little color.
4 ounces sliced water chestnuts, 7 ounces baby corn, 4 ounces snow peas, 1 red bell pepper
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot. Stir and let cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Add your sauce. Stir to combine.
Cook while stiring constantly until the sauce has thickened, about 30-60 seconds.
Remove from heat. Stir in the shrimp and green onions and serve.
