I stole this recipe for Shrimp Stir Fried Noodles from joyousapron.com. This delicious Chinese entrée is easy to make and perfect for a weekday meal. Shrimp is marinated in a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine and pepper. Then garlic and onions are sautéed in a skillet. Shredded cabbage and carrots are added and cooked until soft. Next the shrimp is added to the skillet with all of the marinating sauce. Once the shrimp is cooked, cooked egg noodles are mixed into the skillet. This delicious dinner is topped with green onions before serving. Serving with fortune cookies is optional.
First the cooking sauce is made by mixing together 4 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice cooking wine, 2-4 dashes white or black pepper, 2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp dark soy sauce in a small bowl.
Pour half of the sauce in a resealable bag with 12 oz shrimp, set aside to marinade. Then reserve the remaining half of the sauce.
In a large skillet cook 2-4 tsp minced garlic, ½ cup sliced white onions, 1 cup chopped green onions, 2 cups shredded cabbage and 2 cups shredded carrots. Dried ginger powder can be added to this step.
If desired, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
Cook until all of the vegetables are soft.
Then add the marinated shrimp and the reserved sauce.
Once the shrimp is cooked, add 12 oz thin egg noodles/canton cooked noodles.
Then stir to combine the noodles with the sauce and the other ingredients, top with green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy!
