Drunken Thai Shrimp Noodles
OMG, you gotta try this asap! It's just so good and flavorful.
I was so happy and satisfied having this meal!
- 100 g dried wide rice noodles
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 Thai chili
- 25 g bell pepper
- 6-8 shrimps (peeled and deveined)
- 40 g carrot (thinly sticks)
- 90 g choy sum (any greens you like)
- 20 g Thai basil leaves
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 tsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce (use soy sauce if you don't have)
Blanch choy sum in boiling water for about 1 minute. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
Place garlic, bell pepper and chili in a mortar and use a pestle to crush to a paste.
Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients from the list and set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tsp cooking oil. Place shrimps and cook 45 seconds each side. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
It's time to soak rice noodles in a bowl of water for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. ( I don't soak it at the beginning cause the noodles will be expanded and soggy )
Use the same pan, add in 1 more 1 tsp of cooking oil with the chili garlic paste. Stir for 30-45 seconds over medium heat.
Stir in carrot for 45 seconds before adding choy sum. Stir them for a minute then add noodles, the sauce and shrimps. Toss well for a minute.
(To avoid noodles stick together, just soak them again in a bowl water for JUST A FEW SECONDS right before you add in the pan 👍)
Add in basil and toss for another minute. Remove from heat and serve! SO SO GOOD 😍
