Instructions:

Prepare The Noodles

Cook the noodles as per the instructions on the back of the package. To test whether or not they’ve been cooked enough, take a noodle and chew on it to make sure it’s no longer dry.

Rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking process otherwise, they will become mushy.

Drain thoroughly to get rid of excess water.

In a large bowl, mix the noodles with vegetable oil and soy sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.

Prepare The Shrimp

Add shrimp to a medium mixing bowl, along with cornstarch, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, white pepper powder, curry powder, and vegetable oil. Marinate for 20 minutes.

Stir- Fry The Noodles

Gather all the ingredients before stir-frying the noodles. We need to cook them on high heat with ingredients going into the wok one after the other.

Heat a large wok on high heat until very hot.

Add oil and once the hot is hot and shimmery, add ginger and shallots. Stir-fry for 10 seconds.

Add the marinated shrimp along with the marinade and cook for 3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked, stirring frequently.

Now add carrot, cabbage, and scallions, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper powder, and salt, and mix everything well.

Finally, add the prepared noodles and stir-fry everything together to heat the noodles through and distribute the shrimp and vegetables.

Check for salt and sauces and add more as per your taste.

Serve hot.
