Green Bean, Eggplant & Shrimp Stir-Fry

1. To prepare sauce: Combine gochujang, lemon juice, ginger, soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl. Place near the stove.

2. To prepare stir-fry: Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over high heat. (You'll know it's hot enough when a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.) Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add shrimp and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.

3. Swirl in another 1 tablespoon oil; add eggplant and scallions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; add garlic and green beans. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more.

5. Return the shrimp to the wok. Add the reserved sauce and cook, gently stirring, until well coated and hot, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips

Tip: Go for sustainably raised shrimp. Look for fresh or frozen shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as the Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America; it's more likely to be sustainably caught.

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.
