- ~6 oz thin egg noodles or Canton noodles (dried)
- 6 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1-2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup sliced white onions
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (~1-inch long)
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Oils
- 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce (flavored)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tbsp rice cooking wine
- 1-2 dashes white or black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Noodles: Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the dried egg noodles and cook for 3 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain well and toss the noodles with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking if they will sit before cooking.
- Mix Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice cooking wine, pepper, sugar, and optional dark soy sauce until combined.
- Prep Ingredients: Prepare shrimp by patting dry if previously frozen. Mince garlic, slice white onions, chop green onions, shred cabbage, and shred carrots as indicated.
- Cook Shrimp: Heat wok on high heat and add about 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Once hot, add shrimp and stir-fry for a few minutes until cooked through and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add another 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the hot wok. Add minced garlic and white onions and stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds, careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook Noodles with Sauce: Add the prepared noodles to the wok and stir continuously for about 1 minute. Pour in the stir fry sauce and continue to toss and stir for another minute to evenly coat the noodles with the sauce.
- Add Vegetables and Shrimp: Return cooked shrimp to the wok, then add green onions, shredded cabbage, and carrots. Stir fry everything together for around 30 seconds until heated through, then promptly remove from heat.
- Serve: Plate the stir fried noodles with shrimp and vegetables immediately for best texture and flavor. Enjoy!
