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
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts (fresh)
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the noodles

    If using dried rice noodles, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes until softened. Drain well.

    Fresh noodles can be used without soaking.
  2. Stir-fry shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add shrimp and cook until pink.

    Do not overcook shrimp; they should be tender.
  3. Add sauces

    Stir in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.

    Adjust sauce quantities to taste.
  4. Combine noodles

    Add the soaked noodles to the pan and toss to combine with shrimp and sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Ensure noodles are heated through and coated with sauce.
  5. Finish with vegetables

    Add bean sprouts and sliced green onions, tossing everything together. Drizzle with sesame oil if using.

    Serve hot for the best flavor.
