Shrimp Pan Fried Noodles

Shrimp Pan Fried Noodles

The shrimp and vegetable sauce on the crispy & crunchy noodles are a must-try! The dish must be eaten fresh to ensure the noodles are crispy and crunchy! This dish is commonly found in Chinese restaurants. There are a bunch of different ways to call this dish such as Hong Kong crispy noodles, pan-fried noodles, Hong Kong egg noodles, egg noodles, or fried noodles. 

The shrimp and vegetable sauce can be altered to fit your taste. You can add more seafood and turn the dish into a seafood pan fried noodles recipe. A Chinese seafood noodles recipe would consist of shrimp, squid, and white fish. If you are not a huge seafood fan, you can add a different type of protein such as chicken, beef, or pork according to your taste. 

Hope you get to try these delicious shrimp pan fried noodles!

Pan Fried Noodles

I recommend to use Hong Kong egg noodles for this shrimp pan fried noodles recipe. The egg noodles can easily be fried and will maintain a nice crunchy and chewy texture with the sauce. 

You can find fresh Hong Kong egg noodles in the refrigerated section at the Asian store (such as 99 ranch or Hmart). You can also find the dried Hong Kong egg noodles in the dried noodle section in the Asian store. 

You can boil the noodles for a minute or two and strain the noodles. Make sure to pat the noodles dry with a paper towel before frying in oil or else the oil will splatter!

The seafood pan fried noodles calories is on the higher end since the noodles are fried in oil. However, if you don’t want to fry the noodles, you can boil the noodles and serve the sauce over the boiled noodles. This will become a shrimp and egg noodles dish!

Shrimp and Vegetable Sauce

The shrimp and vegetable stir fry is a common sauce used in Cantonese cuisine. The sauce has a nice gravy and has a nice hint of garlic and ginger flavor. 

The sauce can also be versatile meaning that you can add different vegetables or meat. If you do decide to add more vegetables and meat, you may need to alter the salt content to ensure that everything is well seasoned. It is recommended to marinate (salt and pepper) your protein before making this stir fry if you are adding meat. However, the shrimp doesn’t need to be heavily seasoned.

Shrimp Pan-Fried Noodles

Ingredients you need for your shrimp pan fried noodles recipe:

  • Hong Kong egg noodles
  • Oil
  • Shrimp
  • carrots
  • celery
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • water
  • soy sauce
  • chicken bouillon
  • oyster sauce
  • sugar
  • corn starch
  • shimeji mushrooms

Steps to make the shrimp pan fried noodles:

  • Step 1. Boil Hong Kong egg noodles for 1 minute. Strain the noodles and pat dry with a paper towel. This will help your noodles crisp up more and prevent the oil from splattering when frying.
  • Step 2. In a medium saucepan, add 3-4 tbs to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add noodles and spread thinly. The more thin you spread the noodles, the crispier it would be. Fry noodles on each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Set aside noodles.
  • Step 3. Heat pan to medium heat and add 1 tbs oil. Fry shrimp with a pinch of salt until cooked and set shrimp aside.
  • Step 4. Using the same pan on medium heat, cook ginger and garlic. Then, add celery and carrots. Saute for one minute.
  • Step 5. When the carrots and celery are tender (slightly soft), add soy sauce, chicken bouillon, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well. Then add cornstarch slurry.
  • Step 6. Add the mushrooms and the cooked shrimp. Mix for 1 minute and cook until the sauce has thickened.
  • Step 7. Add sauce on top of the noodles and enjoy while the noodles are still crispy!

The crispy pan-fried noodles with shrimp recipe will be a repeat recipe, especially if you love ordering this dish at Chinese restaurants. Considering that the crispy egg noodles are easy and quick to make at home!

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
