SHRIMP RICE NOODLE ROLLS

Steps:

• Toss the shrimp with the salt. Put in a strainer, rinse under cold water, then transfer to a paper towel and blot dry. Put the shrimp in a bowl and coat well with the oyster sauce and sesame oil. Set aside for 30 minutes to marinate.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring a few times, for about 1 minute, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• Prepare the rice sheets using the instructions in "How to Make Rice Sheets" on page 155. You can make the rolls in between making each sheet, while the sheets are still warm, or after they are all done and completely cool. However, the rolls seal best when the sheet is warm.
• Before assembling the rolls, lightly oil a plate. Cut a rice sheet into 4 (3 1/2 inch) squares. Line 3 shrimp up in a horizontal row along the lower edge of one of the squares. Bring up the lower lip of the sheet and roll it over, along with the shrimp, to close. There should be a 1/2 inch overlap of rice sheet when you are done. Place the finished roll on the plate, seam side down, and repeat with the other squares before moving on to the next rice sheet. Use a new oiled plate after filling one up. It is fine for the rolls to touch. When making the rolls in advance, lightly coat them with oil to prevent drying. Cover and set aside for up to 3 hours. They can be refrigerated for up to 8 hours and returned to room temperature before steaming.
• Put the plates of rolls in steamer trays and steam over boiling water (see page 17 for guidance) for 3 to 4 minutes, until the rolls are soft and heated through. Remove the plates from the steamer trays or keep them in the trays and bring to the table. Keep the rolls whole or cut them into thirds, so that there is one shrimp in each section of each roll. Pour the sweet soy sauce over the rolls (it will pool on the plate) and garnish with the scallion. Serve immediately with the chile garlic sauce. Use both chopsticks and spoons to eat these rolls, lest the shrimp slip out of the wrapper.

PANFRIED EGG NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, SHRIMP, AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked but still firm. Drain, flush with cold water, and drain again. Transfer to a large plate or baking dish. Gently toss with a scant 1/2 teaspoon salt and the sesame oil, and then spread the noodles out to dry and cool. Once the noodles are cool, they are ready for panfrying. Or, you may put them in an airtight container or zip-top plastic bag and refrigerate them overnight; bring them to room temperature before panfrying.
• To make the marinade, in a shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the chicken and shrimp, combine the sugar, cornstarch, white pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil and mix well. Add the chicken and shrimp and use chopsticks to coat evenly. Set near the stove.
• To make the flavoring sauce, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set near the stove.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop in the carrot. When the water returns to a boil, add the bok choy and cook for about 1 minute, or until the bok choy is tender and bright green. Drain the vegetables, flush with cold water, and drain again. Add the wood ear mushrooms and set near the stove. Place a plate near the stove for the holding the elements of the stir-fry as you cook them.
• To panfry the noodles, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the noodles and spread them out into a large, flat pancake. Add the water, cover, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the noodles have softened. Uncover and panfry the noodles, undisturbed, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are a nice crunchy brown on the bottom. As the noodles crisp, they will move in a solid mass when you shake the skillet handle. Use a wide spatula to turn the noodles over, or flip them over with a confident sharp jerk of the skillet handle. Dribble 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil into the pan, adding it at the rim. Fry the second side for 5 to 7 minutes. Slide the finished noodle pancake out onto a large serving plate. Use kitchen scissors to cut it into 6 to 8 wedges. If you like, put the plate of noodles in a warm oven while you stir-fry the topping.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and ginger and stir-fry for about 15 seconds, or until fragrant. Bank the scallions and ginger on one side of the pan, and then add the chicken and shrimp, spreading them out into a single layer. Let cook, undisturbed, for about 1 minute. When they start to brown, use a spatula to flip and stir-fry them, incorporating the scallions and ginger, for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken and shrimp have turned color but are still undercooked. Transfer to the plate.
• Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until heated through. Give the flavoring sauce a stir and add it to the pan. When it begins to bubble, return the chicken and shrimp to the pan and move them around for about 1 minute to combine everything and finish cooking the chicken and shrimp. Give the cornstarch mixture a stir, add to the pan, and stir for about 30 seconds, or until the sauce is smooth and thick. Pour the topping over the noodles and serve at once.
