Professional Tips

Using an extremely hot wok is crucial for properly searing each ingredient. Cut carrots into fine julienne strips for quick cooking. For added depth, occasionally incorporate a touch of honey which creates a subtle caramelization.

Recipe Tips

→ What kind of noodles should I use?
Egg or non-egg Chinese noodles are great options. Rice noodles or udon also work well. Just be sure to follow the specific cooking times for each type.
→ How do I keep the noodles from sticking together?
After cooking, rinse the noodles under cold water. Add them to the wok last, and make sure not to leave them soaking in hot water too long.
→ Can this meal be made ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh for the crunchiest veggies, but you can chop the vegetables in advance and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
→ Is the oyster sauce a must-have?
Not at all! It adds depth, but you can swap it with extra soy sauce or a splash of concentrated vegetable broth.
→ Can I use something other than shrimp?
Absolutely! You can substitute chicken, tofu, or other seafood. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Ingredients

01 200 g peeled shrimp.
02 250 g of Chinese noodles (egg or egg-free).
03 One onion.
04 A carrot.
05 A mix of half a red, green, and yellow bell pepper.
06 One clove of garlic.
07 1 cm of fresh, grated ginger.
08 2 tablespoons of olive or sesame oil.
09 5 tablespoons of soy sauce.
10 An optional tablespoon of oyster sauce.
11 Salt and pepper to your preference.

Let's Cook

Step 01

Cook your noodles in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain them and set them aside.

Step 02

Add some oil to a hot wok or a large frying pan. Toss in the crushed garlic, grated ginger, and shrimp. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then take them out of the wok.

Step 03

Pour a splash of oil into the same wok. Stir-fry thinly sliced onion, and add the carrot and peppers that you’ve cut into thin strips. Keep stirring until they’re tender but still have a nice crunch.

Step 04

Throw the shrimp back into the wok. Pour in the soy sauce (and the oyster sauce if you’re using it). Stir it thoroughly. Add the cooked noodles and mix everything so it’s all coated in the sauce.

Step 05

Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes so everything melds together. Taste it and adjust with a bit of salt, pepper, or even some honey if you want a hint of sweetness.

Tips

  1. Serve this dish right away to keep the crispness of the veggies.
  2. Top with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds if you’d like.
