1. In a medium bowl, combine the marinade ingredients together and stir to blend. Add the shrimp and stir to coat evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and stir to blend. Set aside.

3. In a wok or a large skillet, heat the peanut oil over high heat. Add the shrimp, snow peas, and 1 tablespoon of the minced ginger. Toss rapidly every 15 to 20 seconds, pushing the shrimp up onto the sides of the pan for maximum contact, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are evenly pink.

4. Add the sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger, and chile oil and cook another minute or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Serve immediately over steamed white rice.

Advance Preparation:

Have all the ingredients measured out and make sure the rice is steaming.

The clever cook could:

1. Use the marinade with chicken or flank steak.

2. Vary the vegetables to create your own signature-stir-fry.
