Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the gai lan stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems.
- Mince the garlic.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the gai lan and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add the spinach and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to wilt.
Cook the shrimp & make the stir-fry
- Pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired).
- To the pan of vegetables, add the shrimp* and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until opaque and just cooked through.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, spices and ¼ cup water.
- To the pan, add the ponzu, cornstarch mixture and chili sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the sauce has thickened.
