Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 8 ounces dried or fresh wheat longevity noodles
  • 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas, trimmed
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes for fresh, 6-8 minutes for dried). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  3. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Slice bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and green onions.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add shrimp in a single layer; cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  6. Add more oil if needed. Stir-fry bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Return shrimp to the wok. Add noodles and pour sauce over everything. Toss quickly to coat and heat through for about 2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  8. Stir in sliced green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Use high heat for stir-frying to keep vegetables crisp. Rinse noodles after boiling to prevent sticking. Keep ingredients prepped and ready before cooking as stir-frying moves quickly. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and use rice noodles. For vegetarian, replace shrimp with tofu or mushrooms and use vegetarian oyster or hoisin sauce.
