Shanghai Fried Noodles

I’m in love with Asian cuisine and over the past few months I’ve been learning to make a variety of dishes. This is a must try recipe and it’s a cinch to make. Enjoy!



Ingredients

2-3 tbsp soy sauce -depending on your taste

4 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tsp sesame seed oil

2 tbsp water

Juice from half a large lemon

Pinch of red pepper flakes

Black pepper

1 tbsp canola oil

1 large garlic clove -finely grated

1 (227 g) container cremini mushrooms -sliced

1 medium zucchini -cut into rounds

1 red bell pepper -cut into strips

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 (400 g) package fresh Shanghai noodles

1 tbsp canola oil

1 large garlic clove -finely grated


Directions

- Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame seed oil, water, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Set aside.

- Heat a pot of water for the noodles.

- As the water heats up, make the veggies.

- Put the oil in a medium sized pan and add in the garlic. Heat on medium for a few minutes.

- Add the mushrooms and mix often so the mushrooms don’t burn. Reduce the heat a little if needed.

- When the mushrooms begin to soften, add in the zucchini, bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix often.

- When the veggies are almost cooked, remove from heat, and put them on a plate.

- At this point the water should be boiling. I like to cut the noodles in half because they’re so long.

- Add the noodles to the boiling water and gently stir. Cook for 2 minutes then drain the water.

- Using the same pan the veggies were cooked in, pour in the canola oil, and add in the garlic. Heat on medium for a few minutes.

- Add in the noodles and the sauce.

- Using two forks, mix the noodles often. Reduce the heat a little if needed.

- When the noodles are almost cooked, add in the veggies, and mix well.

- Cook for a few more minutes.
