    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 1/4 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 23 to 25 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the glaze
    2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the glaze

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice crosswise. Peel the ginger; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate to get 2 teaspoons (you may have extra). Roughly chop the cashews. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

    Cook the vegetables
    3 Cook the vegetables

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced pepper and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sliced bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the grated ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan. 

    Cook the shrimp & serve your dish
    4 Cook the shrimp & serve your dish

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (remove the tails if desired). Place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the quatre épices. Toss to coat. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to the bowl of glaze; toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked vegetables and glazed shrimp. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions and chopped cashews. Enjoy!
