Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; blanch 8 oz fresh egg noodles for 30 seconds until slightly softened, drain and toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat. Add 10 oz peeled shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes until pink and opaque; remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 cup julienned carrot, 1 cup snow peas, and 1 cup bean sprouts; stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return shrimp to wok along with noodles, then pour in 3 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and sprinkle 1/4 tsp white pepper; toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 3 sliced scallions just before removing from heat and serve hot.
