Quick Ginger Garlic Seafood Stir Fry Recipe
Quick Ginger Garlic Seafood Stir Fry Recipe is a healthy one-pan meal made with mixed seafood, fresh ginger, garlic, spring onions, and soy sauce. Ready in just 15 minutes, it's perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 250 g frozen mixed seafood thawed and drained
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 15 g fresh ginger julienned
- 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 to 5 spring onions sliced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Seafood
- Thaw the frozen mixed seafood completely and drain well.
- Pat the seafood dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps it stir-fry instead of steam.
- Step 2: Cook the Aromatics
- Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat.
- Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the julienned ginger and sliced garlic.
- Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Step 3: Stir-Fry the Seafood
- Add the seafood mixture to the hot wok.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the seafood is fully cooked and just opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep it tender.
- Step 4: Season the Stir Fry
- Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat all of the seafood evenly.
- Continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Taste and add salt only if needed.
- Step 5: Finish and Serve
- Add the sliced spring onions and toss gently until they just begin to soften.
- Serve the Quick Ginger Garlic Seafood Stir Fry Recipe immediately over steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, fried rice, or noodles.
Notes
- Frozen mixed seafood usually contains shrimp, squid, mussels, and scallops, making it convenient for quick meals.
- Add broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, or bok choy for extra vegetables.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
- A drizzle of oyster-flavored halal sauce or gluten-free tamari can add extra depth of flavor.
- Serve with steamed jasmine rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
