Ingredients
- 2 cups
long-grain white rice
- 1/4 cup
low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp.
chopped fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece)
- 2 Tbsp.
fresh orange juice
- 2 Tbsp.
rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp.
light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp.
red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp.
sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp.
vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 lb.
large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp.
kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
- 2
red bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1
onion, cut into chunks
- 1 cup
salted roasted cashews
Thinly sliced scallions, for topping
Directions
- Step 1Combine the rice and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
- Step 2Meanwhile, whisk the soy sauce, ginger, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; set aside.
- Step 3Heat the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Working in two batches, add the shrimp to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until they are just opaque and beginning to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; remove to a plate.
- Step 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture.
- Step 5Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced slightly and starting to thicken, about 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cashews to coat in the sauce. Serve over the rice and top with scallions.
