Shrimp and Vegetables with Thick Soy Sauce
This Shrimp and Vegetables with Thick Soy Sauce is delicious. I used shrimp but you can use any other type of protein of your choice. Organic tofu would be great in this.
So today I just didn’t know what to do for lunch. Lunch is the largest meal for Spaniards and even though I am here, I still keep this tradition going. After all, I think the largest meal should be eaten during the day, while you are still going, and not at night while you are winning down :-)
Anyhow, this Shrimp and Vegetables with Thick Soy Sauce me no time to put together, that is how I like it :-) because in between cleaning, cooking, feeding the baby, etc I can not spend to much time cooking in the kitchen. I need something quick, easy and nutritious and this fits the bill.
I also like the fact that my rice cooker helps me with this. I find it much easier cooking rice this way than doing it any on the stove. To tell you the truth I don’t remember the last time I made rice the old fashion way, love my cheap rice cooker :-)
If you make this Shrimp and Vegetables with Thick Soy Sauce try your hardest to use reduced sodium because even using this type of soy sauce I still find it a bit on the salty side. Maybe it is just me, and once again any veggies will go with this recipe.
Enjoy it anyways!
On the left picture you can see I had the prep ingredients ready to go which does not take more than 5 minutes or so. On the right picture the vegetable mixture is ready to go, I just need my rice :-)

Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
In a mixing bowl, mix together soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch.

Yum! I like to prepare my veggies like this. But I usually use about 1 to 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, more flavorful :)
Nuria,

Los productos que vendo estan en el link the products, solo vendo granola pero la verdad ahora que estoy con los dos ninos, estudiando y tal como que lo he dejado :-)

I have added the nutrition face. It included 2 cups of brown rice in the recipe :-) Thanks for visiting my blog.
Wonderful dish!! Wow…so flavorful! I assume you add the chili sauce in with the soy? I didn’t see it mentioned in the directions. Again thank you…great dish!
