Set aside, then use a chef's knife to chop the vegetables into pieces of roughly equal size, which helps ensure that they cook evenly. Next, make the stir fry sauce by whisking together the ingredients, adding more or less ginger and chili flakes to taste. To cook your basil stir fry, add the vegetables, shrimp and sauce to a preheated wok. Once cooked, top with fresh basil and serve immediately.
