QUICK SHRIMP LO MEIN



Quick Shrimp Lo Mein image

Lo Mein is a Cantonese dish meaning "stirred noodle". Traditionally Lo Mein is a variation of wonton noodles where all the components including the noodles are served separately. Lo Mein in Mandarin is known as "Ban Mein" i.e. mixed sauce noodle and not necessarily stir fried together, just tossed together. This makes for a simple satisfying supper great as a family sharing plate with other dishes. Don't be phased by what seems like a long list of ingredients - pre-cook the noodles, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Stir-fry the main ingredients and toss the noodles and ingredients in the sauce. To ensure the shrimp does not get overcooked, ensure the ingredients are added in quick succession in the wok and that all the ingredients are pre-chopped.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons low-sodium light soy sauce
One 12-ounce nest thin egg noodles (makes 1 pound cooked)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
4 large dried or fresh shitake mushrooms, washed, presoaked in warm water for 20 minutes if dried, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound shrimp, tails on
7 ounces choi sum, leaves and stalks cut into 2-inch pieces, or broccoli florets
1 tablespoon Shaosing rice wine
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 large pinch ground white pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Mix together the stock, 3/4 cup water, the cornstarch and soy sauce. Stir well and set aside. For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil, and then add the noodles and cook until al dente, 3 minutes. Drain under cold running water. Add the sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the ginger, mushrooms and garlic and toss together for a few seconds. Then add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for less than 1 minute. Add the choi sum leaves and toss together for 1 minute. As the shrimp starts to turn pink, add the Shaosing rice wine.
  • Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil; this will take 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly add the cooked egg noodles and season with the sesame oil and dark soy. Stir together well for 1 minute, making sure all the noodles are coated in the sauce. Season the ground white pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Salt
8 ounces dried Chinese egg noodles, or 1 pound fresh
1 packet chicken bouillon mix, such as Knorr, dissolved in 1 3/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 cup thinly sliced white button mushrooms
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, shredded
1 small bunch scallions, white and green parts, sliced
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For the noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to their package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • For the sauce: Combine the bouillon, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and Sriracha in a large glass measuring cup or small bowl and set aside. This may look like a lot of sauce, but you have a lot of noodles and veggies to coat!
  • For the lo mein: Heat a wok over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, half the garlic, half the ginger and half the scallions and saute 30 seconds. Add in the shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp and aromatics to a plate and reserve.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add the remaining garlic, ginger and scallions. Saute 30 seconds, and then add in the mushrooms, celery, carrots and cabbage. Saute the veggies until they begin to brown and caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons cold water. Once dissolved, add to the sauce. Add the sauce to the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Toss in the reserved shrimp, aromatics and noodles and serve!

  • Use a good quality lo mein noodle: The lo mein noodles are the foundation of the dish, so it's important to use a good quality noodle. Look for noodles that are made with high-quality ingredients and have a good texture.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what gives lo mein its flavor, so it's important to use a sauce that is flavorful and well-balanced. The sauce in this recipe is made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your own taste.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as snow peas, snap peas, or baby corn.
