Instructions

Step 1: Drain 8 oz soaked wide rice noodles and gently separate the strands to avoid clumping.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add 12 peeled and deveined large shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they turn pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok, then sauté 4 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4: Add the drained rice noodles to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes, tossing gently to warm through.
Step 5: Return the cooked shrimp to the wok along with 1 cup chopped Chinese chives, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp white pepper, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the chives soften but remain vibrant.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving immediately.
