Shrimp Chow Mei Fun Recipe 465

SINGAPORE CHOW MEI FUN

Steps:

• Soak rice noodles in hot water for 7-8 minutes, until they are al dente - you don't want them cooked all the way through since you will finish them in the wok (or pan).
• Drain noodles and use scissors to cut them into lengths that are easy to eat. Set aside.
• In a wok or large pan over high heat, add oil. When the oil is hot, add shrimp and turkey bacon and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add cabbage, carrot, red onion, dried red chili peppers and half of the scallions, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring often.
• Add curry powder and stir.
• Add rice noodles, salt, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce, and gently mix.
• Turn the heat off and transfer chow mei fun to a plate or bowl.
• Season with ground white pepper, top with remaining scallions and serve.

SHRIMP CHOW FUN

Steps:

• If using dried rice noodles, pour enough warm water over them in a medium bowl to cover completely. Let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly. If using fresh rice noodles, run under warm water and separate strands.
• Marinate the shrimp: Stir the soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, cornstarch, and pepper together in a bowl until the cornstarch is dissolved. Toss the shrimp gently in the marinade until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Prepare the seasonings: Stir the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and sugar together in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
• Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the soaked or fresh rice noodles and stir-fry until the noodles are lightly browned along the edges, about 2 minutes. Scoop the noodles onto a plate and set aside.
• Add the shrimp to the wok and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Add both onions and the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Slide the noodles into the wok, scatter the bean sprouts over them, and pour in the seasonings. Toss until the mixture is heated through and is coated evenly with the seasonings, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the peanuts, scoop the contents of the wok onto a warm serving plate, and serve.

SHRIMP CHOW FUN (虾炒乐趣)

Steps:

• For this recipe, my dad bought unpeeled shrimp, so the first step is to peel them. Already-peeled shrimp work just fine.
• Chop the onions into thin slices. Cut the green onion into 1.5 inch pieces.
• Your fresh rice noodles likely came in a tight, compressed package. Spread out the noodles on a cutting board. Massage and separate the noodles for about 60 - 90 seconds. The goal is to avoid thick clumps of noodles.
• We need to get our wok as hot as possible before starting to cook. Set the stove to its highest setting, add vegetable oil, and wait for about 3 to 5 minutes. The wok should begin to smoke, and you should be able to feel the heat by holding your palm close to the wok.
• Once the wok is hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 60 to 90 seconds in total. Flip the shrimp halfway through. Once the shrimp is orange, you're done.
• Add more oil to the wok, as well as the chopped onions. Cook the onions for about 20-30 seconds, until their fragrant aromas are released.
• After about 4 minutes of cooking the noodles, gradually add in the remaining ingredients: light soy sauce, shrimp, green onion, chicken bouillon, and bean sprouts. Continue gently stirring and flipping the noodles.
• You're done! Call your loved ones over to eat as you plate the noodles into your favorite dish.

SHRIMP CHOW MEI FUN RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Place warm water in a large bowl, add mei fun noodles, soak until tender (but not too soft). While the noodles are soaking, cut the onion into strips, set aside. Preheat wok over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons cooking oil and heat to hot, add ginger, stir briefly until aromatic (about 2 seconds), then add shrimp, stir fry until the color changes to pink and shrimp are cooked through. Add onions to wok and stir fry briefly, then add Chinese cooking wine, light soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sugar. Mix together well, bring to a boil. Add noodles into the center of sauce, completely soak and heat through. After the noodles are soft, stir around with meat and onions. (This step depends on how moist you want your chow mei fun noodles to be, if the noodles are too dry, just add some water into the wok, then boil through). Season with salt, taste and adjust the seasonings, sprinkle with green onions just before serving. Note: to cook chow fun noodles in sauce and not stick to the pan, the key is to heat the sauces to hot in advance with vegetables and/or meat, then add the noodles.
