Technique to learn

High-Heat Flash Searing

Cooking delicate proteins rapidly over extreme heat preserves tender texture while generating deep savory browned flavors in seconds.

Instructions

Step 1: Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Step 2: In a cup, mix the halal chicken broth, halal soy sauce, and cornstarch together to form the stir-fry slurry.

Step 3: Heat 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until smoking.

Step 4: Add the shrimp to the wok in a single layer and sear for 1 minute per side until bright pink, then remove to a bowl.

Step 5: Add the chopped garlic, diced green bell pepper, and chili flakes to the hot wok, stir-frying for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 6: Pour the broth mixture into the wok along with the cooked shrimp and scallions. Toss rapidly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp entirely.

Cooking tips

Do not overcook the shrimp during the initial sear; they finish cooking when tossed in the final sauce.
Using a high-heat oil like canola or peanut oil allows for maximum searing without smoking.

Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
