Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 4 to 5 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and rinse under cold water.
- Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, cut the carrots into matchsticks.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
- Pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ½ the spices and S&P.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the carrots, edamame, garlic and ½ the scallion.
- Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant; season with the remaining spices.
Cook the shrimp & make the stir-fry
- To the pan, add the shrimp*. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 4 min., until opaque and cooked through.
- Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sambal oelek (add ½ for medium spicy) and ½ the reserved cooking water; stir well.
- Add the noodles and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the noodles are coated and combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooked water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the stir-fry between your bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining scallion. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
