The menu BGS had this week had a beef and ginger meal that we had 2 weeks ago, so I substituted the Shrimp Noodle dinner I made a couple years back - because I felt like it :)
Sad part is I didn't read my recipe early enough to help myself this time. Case in point, I forgot to defrost my 1 lb of shrimp. And now begins the peeling and de-tailing of frozen shrimp. Cue frozen fingers. *sigh* Oh well, we move on.
The players have changed up this time around so pay attention: 1 lb shrimp, 1 10 oz bag of broccoli, 2 tbsp sesame oil 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock, 1/2 cup GF Soy sauce, 1 garlic clove smashed, 2 tsp fresh grated ginger, 2 tsp cornstarch, 4 tsp room temp water, 1/4 tsp five-spice (again, this five spice has seven spices), and rice noodles.
Last time I made this BGS was not yet GF, so I used egg noodles. I also used low-sodium soy sauce (one of my pantry staples). This time signals got mixed and the GF soy sauce that was purchased was most definitely not low sodium. With the soy sauce being 1/2 of the sauce for this dish, the meal came out much saltier than BGS or I liked. And he doesn't usually mind extra salt.
Before I started documenting tonight's meal, I ran to Amazon.com to add some low-sodium GF soy to my cart. I think I will also add a different style rice noodle. Tonight's noodle worked, but I think I would prefer noodles that were thinner and/or shorter. Maybe something like this soba noodle (a BGS request).
