Ingredients
- 8 oz (230g) egg noodle or steamed chow mein/chow mein, fresh
- 6 oz (175g) Shrimp shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 oz (60g) cabbage finely sliced
- 4 oz (125g) bean sprout rinsed and drained
- 1 talk scallion cut into 2-inch lengths
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Sauce and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic, followed by the shrimp. Stir-fry the shrimp until half cooked or until the surface turns opaque, then add the cabbage and stir continuously. Next, add the noodles, followed by the Sauce.
- Stir, toss, and flip the noodles back and forth for about 1 minute. Add the bean sprouts and stir to combine well. As soon as the bean sprouts are cooked, add the scallions, stir a few more times, then dish out and serve immediately.
Notes
- Prepping the noodles involve rinsing the noodles thoroughly with cold water, and then drained before cooking. Some noodles involve soaking the noodles with hot water, drained before cooking. Please follow the packaging instructions to get the best results. If you use dried egg noodles, please also follow the instructions on the back of the package.
- Egg noodles, or Chinese chow mein are labeled differently: chow mein, steamed chow mein, pan-fried chow mein, egg noodles, Hong Kong egg noodles, etc. I used steamed chow mein.
