Ingredients
- 4 ounces egg noodles dry uncooked, or ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded, or 8 ounces fresh egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces medium shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 3 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 cups coleslaw mix or finely sliced cabbage
- 1/2 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain well, do not rinse.
- Meanwhile heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt & pepper. Add to the pan and cook just until it begins to turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add more oil if needed and add coleslaw mix and bell pepper to the pan. Stirfry 3-4 minutes or until it begins to soften. Add ginger and garlic to the pan and cook 30 seconds more.
- Stir in shrimp and sauce. Cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and toss well to combine.
Notes
This recipe uses egg noodles which you can either buy fresh at the grocery store (often found near the tofu) or dried. If you don't have any on hand, spaghetti will work just fine.
Don't rinse the noodles after cooking; leaving them will keep them just starchy enough to help thicken the sauce so it clings better to the shrimp and veggies.
Cook the shrimp just until pink in step 3. It will cook further once it's added back in the final step.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan until heated through.
