Jasmine rice simmered in water with slices of ginger adds a unique flavor that pairs beautifully with seafood. Serve it alongside shrimp and broccoli in a spicy garlic sauce. Shrimp and broccoli florets are individually pan-fried and then combined in a delicious sauce made with chicken broth and ketchup, store-bought spicy garlic sauce, oyster sauce, and a little cornstarch for thickening. Both the seafood and broccoli are fried for just a couple of minutes to ensure they remain crisp and deliciously firm, preserving all their nutritional benefits.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 1/4 cups water and ginger pieces and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and cover.
  2. Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, combine the chicken broth, ketchup, hot garlic sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in two batches and cook until translucent, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl.

  3. Add the broccoli and 1/2 cup water to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the shrimp.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan. Add the minced ginger and fry until golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the prepared sauce and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and broccoli and stir, adding a little water if necessary to thin the sauce. Serve with rice.
