Delicious Shrimp Chow Fun Recipe - Authentic Chinese Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 8 oz wide rice noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening sauce)
  • 1 cup water (for cooking)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Noodles

    Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until softened.

    If using dried noodles, follow package instructions for soaking.
  2. Cook the Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes.

    Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Garlic and Sauces

    Add minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to the shrimp. Stir well to combine.

    Adjust the sauce quantities to your taste preference.
  4. Combine Noodles and Shrimp

    Add the soaked noodles to the wok. Toss gently to mix with the shrimp and sauce.

    Use tongs for easier mixing without breaking the noodles.
  5. Add Bean Sprouts and Green Onions

    Stir in bean sprouts and green onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Fresh bean sprouts add a nice crunch to the dish.
