Chow Mein Sauce

Instructions

  • Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go, such as your shrimp, vegetables and seasonings.
  • In a bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Cook chow mein noodles according to package directions. When done, strain and rinse a bit to stop the cooking process. Drizzle a teaspoon of sesame oil in the noodles and toss to coat. This will help the noodles from ticking while you make the rest of the dish.
  • Begin to heat your wok and pour a drizzle of canola or vegetable oil. Add shrimp first and allow to cook for about 30 seconds until cooked through, but don't over cook them. Remove shrimp to a plate and reserve.
  • Add all your vegetables, garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until vegetables begin to break down. Add sauce mixture and stir to combine then add noodles and gently toss to combine.
  • Plate chow mein and top with shrimp and garnish with scallions.
