Shrimp Chow Mein image

The star of this at-home version of the Chinese takeout favorite? An umami-packed sauce made with chicken broth, oyster sauce, rice-wine vinegar, sesame oil, sambal oelek, and fresh ginger and garlic. It's a delicious foil for tender egg noodles, plump shrimp, and crisp-tender snow peas.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces Chinese dried egg noodles
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili sauce, such as sambal oelek
2 teaspoons grated ginger (from 2-inch piece)
2 teaspoons grated garlic (4 cloves)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry
Kosher salt
8 ounces snow peas, trimmed
1 bunch scallions (about 8), white and light-green parts cut into 2-inch pieces (1 cup), dark-green tops thinly sliced, for serving
1 cup mung bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, soak noodles in hot water 10 minutes. Add soaked noodles to pot. Once water returns to a boil, cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to stop cooking, and drain again.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together broth, oyster sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce, ginger, and garlic; set aside.
  • In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer and season lightly with salt. Cook, flipping once, until shrimp are pink, opaque, and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add snow peas and white and light-green parts of scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and lightly charred in places, about 3 minutes. Add broth mixture and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add sprouts, shrimp, and noodles and toss until noodles are well coated in sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with scallion tops.

I loved the flavor of this dish, but I thought the noodles were a bit too soft. I think next time I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think it would be easy to adjust the amount of chili pepper to make it less spicy.

The shrimp were overcooked and the noodles were mushy. I won't be making this dish again.
