Shrimpย โ Always use large shrimp for satisfying bites. The shrimp should be peeled and deveined and are cut in half lengthways.
Instant Ramen Noodles – I use Korean Shin Ramens here. You can use any kind of Instant Ramen.
Vegetable Oilย โ I normally use Rapeseed Oil. You can also try Sunflower Oil.
Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chili Oilย โ This is one of the most popular Chinese chili sauces worldwide. You can buy this chili sauce in your local Asian markets or grocery stores.
Light Soy Sauceย โ This is one of the must-have Asian sauces that you need to have in your kitchen. Lee Kum Kee is my favorite brand for this. You can use other brands too.
Dark Soy Sauce – This is normally used to add a deep color to the dish. I also use Lee Kum Kee brand for this.
Green Onionsย โ or called Spring Onions. This is great for garnishing at the end. It adds beautiful green color and it is rich in healthy nutrients.
Garlicย โ It adds a wonderful garlicky flavor. In my view, garlic just makes everything better.
Sesame Seedsย โ use the roasted kind. I also love this for garnishing the dish.
Chinese Black Vinegar – or called ้ๆฑ้ฆ้. This isย made from fermented black sticky rice or regular glutinous rice.ย
Coriander – or called cilantro. This adds a special aroma and taste to the dish. It is refreshing with a lemony or lime-like flavor.

Haini’s Tips
โข You can use Ramen of your choice. I recommend using Korean instant Ramen noodles. I believe Spaghetti will also work well with this recipe. โข Remember not to overcook the Ramen noodles. โข For vegetarians, you can also substitute Shrimp with Tofu. If you use Tofu, I recommend using Firm Tofu. It is best to fry the Tofu first before mixing with the noodles.
