Shrimp & Snow Pea Noodles
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (225g) dry rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound (450g) shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1/2 small yellow onion, sliced
- 6 ounces (170g) snow peas
- 1 1/2cups (125g) mung bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Soak the noodles in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp curls and turns orange. Pour the cooked shrimp on a plate, and wipe the pan down with a towel.
Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in the pan. Add the onions. When they start to turn translucent, add the snow peas. Cover the pan with a lid for 2 to 3 minutes. If it looks like the pan is very dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Uncover the pan and add the mung beans sprouts and stir for another minute or 2.
Add the noodles, sauces, green onion, and garlic powder. Stir everything for another two minutes. Mix in the shrimp and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
