Instructions
- Cook the pasta noodles according to the package instructions.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking the soy sauce, sugar, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch and browning sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Pat the shrimp dry and add to a bowl. Add in cornstarch, baking soda and soy sauce. Toss well to coat the shrimp.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok set over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the seasoned shrimp on both sides until they are almost cooked through. Then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onions, garlic, ginger. Saute until they become fragrant.
- Add the peppers, broccoli, green cabbage, carrots, and scallions (or any other veggies you have) to the skillet. Saute until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp.
- Add the noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables.
- Add the seared shrimp back to the skillet and toss everything together to ensure the noodles and veggies are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Allow the dish to cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through. Serve hot.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet before serving.
