INGREDIENSER
Vermicelli – There are many kinds of Vermicelli that you can choose from. Either kind should work. I love using both the Chinese and the Vietnamese rice noodles brands.
Tigerrejer - Brug altid store rejer for at få tilfredsstillende bidder. Rejerne skal pilles og udbenes.
Æg – I use two large eggs in this recipe. Eggs are must-have for this classic Chinese Fried Rice Noodles dish.
Vegetabilsk olie - Jeg bruger normalt rapsolie. Du kan også prøve solsikkeolie. Brug ikke olivenolie.
Bønnespirer – This goes perfectly with the fried rice noodles. We love using Bean Spouts in Chinese cooking.
Salat – You can use different kind of lettuce. The soft kind works the best.
Grønne løg - eller kaldet forårsløg. Det giver en smuk grøn farve, og det er rigt på sunde næringsstoffer.
Lys sojasovs – Dette er en af de musthave asiatiske saucer, som du skal have i dit køkken. Lee Kum Kee er mit yndlingsmærke til dette. Du kan også bruge andre mærker.
Østers sovs - Du bør helt sikkert tilføje den til dit køkken. Østerssauce tilfører retten et godt strejf af sødme og en fyldig smag. Jeg kan godt lide at bruge thailandske mærker som Maekrua til denne sauce.
Mørk sojasovs – This is normally used to add a nice color to the dish in Chinese cooking. I also use Lee Kum Kee brand.
Chiliflager – This adds a bit extra spicy tang! You can skip this if don’t want the spiciness.
Salt og sort peber – The classic combo of seasoning that makes everything tastes better!
HOW TO MAKE THIS SHRIMP FRIED RICE NOODLES RECIPE
Forbered ingredienserne – Whisk the Eggs in a bowl. Cut the veggies. Set aside.
Kog risnudlerne – Steam a wok of water on medium-high heat. When the water starts steaming, add in the dried Vermicelli. Steam for a few minutes until the noodles open up. The noodles should still be firm, not soft. Then drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Forbered risnudlerne – Cover the bowl with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, open the lid and flip the noodles. Then cover and sit for another 5 minutes. Once done, add in the Dark Soy Sauce and mix well. This helps the noodles to get a nice color. Use scissors to cut the noodles to make it shorter if necessary.
Steg rejerne – In a wok, add in 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil, over meidum-high heat. Add in the Shrimp. Fry on both sides until nicely golden. Season with Salt and Pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

HAINIS TIPS
1. Det er vigtigt ikke at dampe risnudlerne for længe i wokken. Det er meningen, at nudlerne stadig skal være faste efter dampning i wokken. Hvileprocessen i en skål med låg vil fortsætte med at tilberede risnudlerne. På den måde kan risnudlerne bevare den seje konsistens, når de steges under omrøring. 2. Remember to always use large shrimp for satisfying bites. 3. Adding Dark Soy Sauce into the noodles before cooking helps to add that nice brown color to the noodles. It helps to reduce the time in stir-frying. 4. You can use other veggies of your choice, such as bok choy or carrots.
If you’re looking for a quick, flavorful noodle dish that feels both nostalgic and satisfying, this Shrimp Fried Rice Noodles recipe is a must-try. It’s easy, flexible, and perfect for busy days when you still want something homemade and comforting.

Whisk the Eggs in a bowl. Cut the veggies. Set aside.
Damp en wok med vand ved middelhøj varme. Når vandet begynder at dampe, tilsættes de tørrede vermicelli. Damp i et par minutter, indtil nudlerne åbner sig. Nudlerne skal stadig være faste, ikke bløde. Hæld vandet fra, og kom dem i en stor skål.
Cover the bowl with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, open the lid and flip the noodles. Then cover and sit for another 5 minutes. Once done, add in the Dark Soy Sauce and mix well. This helps the noodles to get a nice color. Use scissors to cut the noodles to make it shorter if necessary.

Noter
It is important not to steam the rice noodles too long in the wok. The noodles are supposed to be still firm after steaming in the wok. The resting process in a bowl with the lid will continue to cook the rice noodles. In this way, the rice noodles can maintain the chewy texture when stir-frying.
Remember to always use large shrimp for satisfying bites.
Adding Dark Soy Sauce into the noodles before cooking helps to add that nice brown color to the noodles. It helps to reduce the time in stir-frying.
You can use other veggies of your choice, such as bok choy or carrots.
