Description

Check out Tales Of A Kitchen’s delicious recipe for Shrimp Chow Mei Fun. Learn how to prepare this tasty dish that is loaded with colorful veggies and shrimp.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil divided.
  • 2 garlic cloves minced.
  • 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger chopped small.
  • ½ red onion sliced thin.
  • 1 large carrot peeled and cut in matchsticks.
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced.
  • 40 large shrimp cooked and peeled.
  • 3 tablespoon hoisin sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  • 7 oz rice noodles soaked/cooked according to package instructions.
  • ½ tablespoon turmeric powder.

Instructions

  1. In a skillet or frying pan, heat half of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chopped ginger and minced garlic for 2 minutes, stirring often to prevent the garlic from browning, until fragrant.
  2. Add onion slices and heat for 1 minute.
  3. Add the sliced carrot and simmer for 1 minute. 
  4. Add the shrimp and bell pepper slices, and thoroughly mix. 
  5. Stir in sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Simmer for 1 minute after bringing to a simmer. 

Notes

  • Egg noodles can also be used in place of the rice noodles in this dish, which tastes great when cooked with both thicker “pad thai style” noodles and thinner Mei Fun noodles.
  • Before adding the cooked frozen shrimp to the stir-fry, I let it thaw fully. Every time, I take the tail off before attaching them.
  • Olive oil can also be used instead of vegetable oil; I like the neutral sort.
  • You may omit the turmeric powder with no impact on the flavor.
