Ingredients:
| gluten-free red rice noodles | 220- 250 gms | |
| large shrimp / prawns | 8-10 | |
| fresh ginger, chopped finely | ¾ Tbsp | |
| garlic, chopped finely | 1 generous Tbsp | |
| Peanut Oil | 3-4 Tbsp | |
| carrot, julienned | 1 small | |
| cabbage, shredded | ¼ cup | |
| bok choy, roughly chopped ( or similar greens) | 1 cup | |
| red chilli paste (see notes) | 1 tsp |
Shrimp Marinade:
| cornflour, | 1 Tbsp | |
| turmeric powder | ¼ tsp | |
| lime juice | 2 tsp | |
| tsp | 1/4 |
For the Sauce Mixture:
| light soy sauce (I combine light soy sauce of two different brands - I get a better flavor this way. You can experiment in this way since all brands taste different) | 2 tsp | |
| dark soy sauce (thick) | 1 tsp | |
| Thai chilli sauce | 1 Tbsp | |
| fish sauce ( increase to taste) | 1 tsp | |
| lime juice | 1 tsp |
Method:
- Soak the noodles according to package instruction. Gluten-free, red rice noodles, requires a slightly longer time. Around 30 minutes in room temperature water.
- Drain the noodles before you start cooking.
- Clean and devein the shrimp, prawns. Add all ingredients listed under the marinade and rub well into the shrimp. Set aside while you prep the remaining ingredients.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set aside. (Always taste and add a bit of this or that to suit your personal preference, if needed – but this amount of sauce is perfect for the weight of noodles in the recipe).
- Add oil to a well seasoned ( cool ) wok. Bring to smoking heat, but slowly ( on low flame).
- Turn up the heat. Add the marinated shrimp and toss briefly till the shrimp changes in color ( slightly opaque and white).
- Now, add the finely chopped ginger and garlic and toss well, till fragrant.
- Also, add the chilli paste, and stir through briefly, to cook.
- Add the drained noodles and toss well to fry and coat the noodles thoroughly with the oil.
- Once the noodles are coated, add the veggies, maintaining a high heat, and toss in the wok for 30 seconds.
- Stir the sauce ingredients once, and pour over the noodles. Quickly toss to incorporate the sauce through the noodles and heat through. Don’t stir too much to avoid breaking up the noodles.
- Done! Yummy!
