Shrimp Chow Mein


Description

Quick and healthy one-pot meal you can prep and cook in 20 minutes. This dish only requires minimum prep: cook the noodles, mix the sauce and chop a few aromatics and veggies.

Ingredients

8 ounces dried Chinese egg noodles (or spaghetti)

Sauce:
1/4 cup chicken stock (or water)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp unsalted Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
2 tsp light soy sauce (or soy sauce)
2 tsp dark soy sauce (or soy sauce)
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp white pepper powder (or black pepper powder)

Stir fry:
2 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 tbsps minced ginger
2 carrots, julienned
16 to 20 medium size shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups bean sprouts
6 spring onion, chopped
2 cups baby spinach

Directions

Boil noodles according to package instructions. Rinse with tap water, drain and set aside.

Whisk all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.

Chop aromatics and vegetables.

Heat a wok (or large skillet) over medium high heat until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the wok. It’s ready when the oil just starts to smoke.

Add ginger and carrot. Cook and stir until the carrot starts to turn soft, 40 sec to 1 min. Add shrimp. Cook and stir until the surface turns white, but the inside remains transparent. Swirl in the sauce along the edge of the wok. Stir a few times to quickly heat up the sauce. Add noodles. Stir to mix well. You can chop the noodles into shorter strands with a spatula to make the noodles easier to mix with other ingredients. Cook until the sauce is fully absorbed. Add bean sprouts and spring onions.

Cook and stir until the vegetables are just cooked, 1 to 2 min. Add spinach and give it a final stir.

Enjoy!
