Stir-fry Soy Sauce Shrimp Glass Noodles is simple and quick to make. It is loaded with amazing flavors and sheer joy. You can taste a big mouthful of Shrimp along with chewy noodles.
Soy Sauce Glass Noodles is one of my childhood favorites. My parents used to take me to eat this at Chinese stalls and I really miss it. So in order to recreate this childhood memory, I modified the recipe and added my personal touch for the best taste possible.
I use a very thin kind of Glass Noodles, which is also called Mung Bean Noodles. This noodles is very easy and quick to cook. But if you overcook it, it can turn out to be soggy and unpleasant to eat. The key is to set the time and wait before moving on to the other steps.
I also use this noodles to make a delightful and refreshing Thai Salmon Glass Noodles Salad, which is wonderfully healthy and delicious. You can enjoy this at all seasons.
I care a lot about the color of the dish. So that I use green vegetables, red chilies, and eggs (yellow). I like to use big leaf Baby Spinach in this dish. You can also use other Chinese vegetables such as Bok Choy and Lettuce.
INGREDIENTS
Shrimp – Always use large shrimp for satisfying bites. The shrimp should be peeled and deveined.
Dried Glass Noodles – This is also called Mung Bean Noodles. This kind of noodles is very easy and quick to cook. It does not require long cooking time like other kind of noodles.
Vegetable Oilย โ I normally use Rapeseed Oil. You can also try Sunflower Oil.
Garlic – It adds a nice garlicky flavor.
Eggs – I use two eggs for this recipe. The eggs are whisked slightly before use.
Thai Red Chilies – I like the fresh Thai Chilies here, which adds a good spicy tang and a nice color.
Baby Spinach – I like to use big leaf Baby Spinach in this dish. You can also use Bok Choy or Lettuce.
Green Onions – or called Spring Onions. This is great for garnishing the dish at the end.
Black Pepper – It helps to elevate the taste.
MARINADE
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.
Sesame Oil – It has a special flavor and aroma. This is normally used as a finishing oil, which can elevate the flavor and add a delightful richness.
Black Pepper – It adds some extra peppery flavor to the Shrimp.
STIR-FRY SAUCE
Light Soy Sauce – This is great for adding savoury taste to the dish.
Fish Sauce – This sauce is watery, clear, and salty. It adds umami to the dish. I like the Squid brand or Three Crabs brand.
Dark Soy Sauce – This is normally used to add a deep color to the dish.
Sugar – It helps to balance the overall flavor.
HOW TO MAKE THIS SOY SAUCE SHRIMP GLASS NOODLES

Haini’s Tips
