Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the dried Chinese noodles and cook for 9 to 11 minutes, until soft but not mushy on the outside with a slight chew inside. Cooking time depends on noodle thickness; do not salt the water.
-
Step 2.
While the noodles cook, in a small bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 teaspoon soy sauce and mix well. Add 2 teaspoons cornstarch and mix again. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
In another small bowl, make the sauce: stir together ½ cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 finely chopped green onion, and 1 minced garlic clove. Set aside.
-
Step 4.
Drain the cooked noodles. If not using within 5 minutes, toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
-
Step 5.
Preheat a wok over high heat until wisps of smoke rise. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 30 to 40 seconds until they begin to turn pink. Flip and sear another 30 to 40 seconds. Transfer shrimp to a bowl; scrape out any charred bits from the wok.
-
Step 6.
Return the wok to high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then immediately add the 2-inch green onion segments and stir for about 5 seconds until fragrant. Add the julienned carrot and stir a few seconds. Add the chopped greens and stir-fry for about 1 minute, scooping to mix.
-
Step 7.
Add the cooked shrimp and the prepared sauce to the wok; stir to combine. Add the noodles and carefully toss with tongs until everything is well mixed. Drizzle with ½ teaspoon sesame oil and toss. Remove from heat. Season with additional soy sauce or salt to taste. Serve immediately.
