Crispy Chow Mein with Shrimp

Weeknight-friendly Chinese cooking: Crispy Chow Mein with Shrimp comes together in 35 minutes with chow mein noodles, shrimp, and not much else.

Ingredients

• 12 oz Chow mein noodles
• 1 lb Shrimp
• 0.5 lb Bok choy
• 2 Carrots
• 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Peanut oil

Steps

1. Parboil the noodles 2 minutes, drain, and pat very dry. Wet noodles steam; dry noodles crisp.
2. Spread the noodles in a hot oiled pan into a thin pancake and fry undisturbed 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Slide onto a platter.
3. Stir-fry the shrimp 2 minutes until pink; remove. Stir-fry the garlic, carrots, and bok choy 2 minutes.
4. Stir the stock, soy, oyster sauce, and cornstarch together and pour in; simmer 2 minutes until the sauce turns glossy and thick. Return the shrimp.
5. Pour the saucy stir-fry over the crisp noodle pancake. It should sizzle on contact — the contrast of crackling noodles and silky sauce is the whole dish.
