Stir-fry:
 ½ lb wild-caught shrimp

Heat 1.5 tbsp. toasted sesame oil on medium heat in a pan. Add carrots, saute for 3-4 minutes. Keep lid partially covered to soften carrots, stirring frequently.
Add onion, saute for 3-4 minutes, keeping lid partially covered and stirring frequently.
Add bell pepper, saute for 3-4 minutes, keeping lid partially covered and stirring frequently.

4

Use a spoon to create an opening in the center of the pan. Add remaining 1/2 tbsp. oil to pan, add shrimp, and saute for 30 seconds.
Stir shrimp in with the veggies, add a few drops of water to the pan, cover, and let shrimp steam/cook for about 1 minute, stirring once, until shrimp are cooked.

5

Pour the sauce into the pan, stir to coat everything well, cover, and remove from heat.
Let sit for a few minutes with the lid on, so that everything can soak up the sauce and finish cooking.
*Cooking* miso can destroy the beneficial probiotics, so the heat is turned off when the sauce is added. Plus, the extra time to marinate helps the flavors to meld and prevents the shrimp from over-cooking.

Serve it up!
6

Serve the stir fry with kimchi on the side! Kimchi is fermented veggies with an Asian twist. It is served on the side since cooking the kimchi also destroys the beneficial probiotics.
