Servings 6
Ingredients
- 200-300 g fresh noodles I used ID Fresh Food’s classic fresh noodles
- Water (for boiling the noodles)
- Cooking oil
- 20 medium shrimps shelled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- ½ cup julienned carrots
- ½ cup sliced green beans
- 1 cup shredded cabbage loosed packed
- ½ cup mung bean sprouts
- ½ cup (125 ml) oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- Ground black pepper
- Sesame oil for drizzling
Instructions
-
Put water in a pan and bring to a boil. Add fresh noodles and cook for 2 minutes (or depending on the package instructions). When time is up, drain the noodles and place in a bowl with very cold water. Let it stay there for 30 second and drain again. Set aside until ready to use.
-
In a pan over medium-high heat, add cooking oil.
-
When the oil is hot enough, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add onion and bell pepper slices, cook until soft. Add shrimps and cook for another 1 minute. Add carrots and sliced green beans and cook for 2 minutes. Add oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce. I also added water, about 2 tbsp. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Add cabbage and cook for another minute. Add mung bean sprouts, cook for 30 seconds.
-
Do a taste test before adding the cooked noodles. Adjust your seasoning if needed.
-
Add the cooked noodles and mix until noodles are coated with the sauce.
-
Add sesame oil (if you want) and ground black pepper. As to the ground black pepper, I really didn’t measure; I added until I was happy with the taste.
-
Best if served during the same day. I also love it with fresh mung bean sprouts.
Recipe Notes
- If ID Fresh Food noodles is not available in your area and you are using a different brand of noodles, I suggest you get fresh noodles, too. Whatever brand of noodles you use, make sure not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become soggy.
- Do a taste test before adding the noodles to the cooked veggies and sauce. This way, you will not adjust the seasoning while the cooked noodles is in the pan which may cause soggy noodles.
- You can add your choice of meat/protein as well as the veggies.
- This dish is best enjoyed on the same day until the next day. For leftover, it can be reheated in a microwave oven.
