Shrimp, kale and cashew stir-fry
serves 2
The distinctive taste and texture
of kale enhances the subtle flavor of the shrimp and adds an
appetizing color contrast to this simple Chinese stir-fry. The
cashews also go beautifully with kale and shrimp and provide extra
texture and a rich buttery taste.
3 tablespoons Chinese soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
16 large uncooked shrimp (prawns) — peeled
