Best Easy Shrimp Chow Mein Recipes

SHRIMP CHOW MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, soak noodles in hot water 10 minutes. Add soaked noodles to pot. Once water returns to a boil, cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to stop cooking, and drain again.
• In a small bowl, whisk together broth, oyster sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce, ginger, and garlic; set aside.
• In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer and season lightly with salt. Cook, flipping once, until shrimp are pink, opaque, and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add snow peas and white and light-green parts of scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and lightly charred in places, about 3 minutes. Add broth mixture and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add sprouts, shrimp, and noodles and toss until noodles are well coated in sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with scallion tops.

• Heat a large 12-inch cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan; heat until it just begins to smoke. Add carrots, onion, celery, ginger, and garlic to hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, just until vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until almost done, about 2 minutes. Push vegetables and shrimp to one side of the pan and add chicken stock mixture; stir constantly until sauce is hot.
• Add noodles and stir well to mix with sauce and vegetables (using a metal spatula and chopping noodles slightly helps to mix this together.) Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles have absorbed the sauce, about 2 minutes. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach until just wilted. Serve immediately.
