Serve with: Green Salad with Low-fat Ranch Dressing Crispy Bread Sticks
Pears with Cheddar cheese Gingersnap cookies
A stir-fry with shrimp, vegetables and noodles that make a great one-dish
meal. When using a nonstick skillet to stir-fry, you need only a tiny
amount of oil. For dessert, cheese and pears round out the four food groups
in this meal. Gingersnap cookies are a good choice since they satisfy a
sweet craving but are lower in fat than most types of cookie.
Sweet and spicy shrimp make an easy, impressive dinner. If you prefer, you
can use wide noodles.
Cut onion in half lengthwise; slice lengthwise into thin strips. Cut snow
peas in half diagonally; set aside.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles for 7 minutes or until
tender but firm; drain.
Meanwhile, in nonstick wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium-high
heat; cook onion, garlic and ginger, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add shrimp
and snow peas; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
In bowl, whisk together stock, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch
and hot pepper sauce; stir into shrimp mixture. Increase heat to high;
cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until shrimp are firm and pink and sauce
is thickened.
Toss noodles with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with peanuts.
