Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 cup water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4 ppl). Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt!)Whisk together cornstarch and 1/3 cup water (3/4 cup for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-4 min.** Transfer to a plate.
Add sesame oil to the same pan, then ginger. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add carrots and bok choy. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add teriyaki sauce, cornstarch mixture and soy sauce. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and coats veggies, 1-2 min. Remove the pan from heat, then stir in shrimp.
Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between bowls. Top with shrimp stir-fry.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Reviewers were divided — some loved the bold teriyaki and sesame notes, while others found the sauce too salty, sweet, or bitter.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward weeknight meal; a few noted the rice took longer to cook than the instructions suggested.
- Suggestions: Use less soy sauce to reduce saltiness, and consider adding honey to balance the teriyaki if it tastes too sharp or bitter. Adding garlic or a splash of hoisin can also round out the flavour nicely.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt the vegetable quantity was too small; adding extra bok choy or a red pepper made the dish more satisfying.
