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!

My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look forward to when my mom would make cheung fun or Hong Kong rice noodles for me as a kid on her way to work on saturday and sunday mornings. Hong Kong rice noodles are known as Cheung fun (腸粉) in Cantonese. Cheung Fun is a popular street snack in Hong Kong and is often served as a dim sum item. These rice noodles are super soft & jiggly after steaming. The rice noodles consists of many layers of noodles so it’s perfect for adding sauces on top. I recommend sauces like XO sauce (dried scallop and shrimp chili oil), hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for the ultimate food bite!

Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast and milk tea combo for brekkies 💭My secret ingredient for my hong kong french toast is dairy milk! I dip shokupan (Japanese white bread or asian style white bread) in dairy milk which really helps soften the bread for extra fluffiness and then dip in egg batter and panko bread crumbs (non-traditional method but SO GOOD!) for that extra crispy bite 😋#gonnaneedmilk

Not only is milk a great ingredient for cooking, milk contains 4 B vitamins, which helps our bodies convert food into energy. So essentially the milk in milk tea is a quick and easy way to kickstart your busy day with energy. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, lactose-free milk  has all the same nutritional benefits as traditional milk! So… when are you trying this recipe?

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.
