Instructions

1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions; set aside and keep warm.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sweet Thai chili sauce, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of water to make the glaze.
3. Peel and grate the ginger. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
4. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
