Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄4-inch-thick pieces (halve lengthwise first if carrots are on the larger side). Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels, or open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add onion and broccoli; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and broccoli is tender, 3-5 minutes.
Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together sweet soy glaze, half the Szechuan paste, half the vinegar, 3⁄4 cup water, and 1 tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use all the Szechuan paste, all the vinegar, 11⁄2 cups water, and 2 tsp sugar.)
• Add Szechuan sauce (reserve bowl; no need to wipe out!) and garlic powder to pan with stir-fry. Cook, stirring, until everything is thoroughly coated in sauce, 1-2 minutes. • In bowl used for sauce, mix cornstarch with 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until dissolved. • Stir cornstarch mixture into stir-fry until fully incorporated; simmer until sauce thickens, 30-60 seconds. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in chili flakes to taste (we used 1⁄8 tsp; 1⁄4 tsp for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of water.
Stir in shrimp or chicken along with chili flakes.
• Massage rice in package to break up grains. Partially open package; microwave until warmed through, 11⁄2-2 minutes. (Careful when handling and opening the pouch!) • Transfer rice to a medium bowl and fluff with a fork.
• Divide rice and stir-fry between plates in separate sections. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

- Ease of prep: Quick to prepare, with convenient microwaveable rice saving time for some. Others preferred cooking rice from scratch.
- Suggestions: Consider adding water chestnuts for crunch. Try using less onion if you prefer a milder flavor.

Reviews from our home cooks
Used shrimp for half the family and added tofu to other part of veggies for vegetarian in house. Delicious! I used less sauce and made more rice. Good meal on weekend since time factor involved.
This was the best "Chinese" dish of all that we've every gotten from HF. Very tasty. As fast and good as takeout!
Great savory dish with a little kick of spice......added shrimp. Very tasty
This was soooooooo good! Loved that I could adjust the spice level
Pleasing to the eye and full of vegetables. The meat addition only added to the texture and flavor.
I added red bell pepper and zucchini to this. It was so good.
Liked that it's quick to prepare, and it was delicious.
I order a lot of Asian food and I loved the simple vegetable combination.
I like that it comes with microwaveable rice. Sometimes my rice doesn't come out that good. I wish that tofu was an option to add to the meal. It would be so good with the dish. I added some to mine and it made it better.
A little too long to prepare, definitely not 5 mins prep as it says on the card. Please make those more realistic
