You know how much Rosie loves her stir fries.

Mr. Hawthorne is doing the honors today.

Start out with about a pound of peeled and de-veined shrimp.

Here's Mr. Hawthorne's mise en place:
shredded carrots
broccoli
red pepper
celery
red onion
water chestnuts
garlic
the last snow peas from my garden

I'm making the sauce thickener.
I added a cup of cold water to a teaspoon of chicken base
and a tablespoon of cornstarch.

Add in about 2 TB of soy sauce.

Mr. Hawthorne heated oil in the wok on high heat
and added in the minced garlic.
12:33

Broccoli, snow peas, red onions in.
12:33

Stir ...

... fry.

Carrots, celery, red onion, and water chestnuts.
12:34

When this is smokin' hot,
Mr. Hawthorne adds in some water
so the veggies can steam.
12:34

Some Tamari in.
12:35

Make a well in the wok
and add the shrimp.
12:36

When the shrimp is not quite done
(slightly gray, not all the way pink) ...

... add in the cornstarch/chicken base thickener
down the side of the hot wok.
12:38

Serve on a bed of rice.
12:40

I chiffonaded some basil and sprinkled that over top.

Youngest Hawthorne asked,
"What's that crunch?"
Water chestnut, Grasshopper.

Excellent job, Mr. Hawthorne.
