Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or chow mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  4. Add cabbage, carrots, celery, and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Add green onions, garlic, and ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Notes

  • Adjust vegetables based on your preference. Broccoli, snow peas, or mushrooms are good additions.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit shrimp and add tofu or extra vegetables.
