If you make one recipe from Turquoise & Teale this month, please make it this asian noodle bowl. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious this is. If you’re not a shrimp person, this would be equally good with another meat or loaded up with extra veggies. This made a serving for 3-4 people, with plenty of leftover for lunch or dinner another day.
Shrimp Asian Noodle Bowls
via iowa girl eats
ingredients:
1/2lb rice noodles (see note below)
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1-1/2 – 2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce (depending on how hot you want it)
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
2 eggs
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2lb frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp grapeseed or other high-heat oil, divided
1 zucchini, sliced in half then into half moons
1/4 cup grated carrot
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions, chopped and divided
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
fresh chopped cilantro
directions:
Pre-soak rice noodles according to package directions. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and fresh ginger then stir to combine and set aside. Whisk eggs and sesame oil together in a small bowl then set aside. Pat shrimp dry between layers of paper towels then set aside.
When rice noodles have 10 minutes left to soak, heat 1/2 Tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and then saute until cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Remove to a plate then heat another 1/2 Tablespoon oil in the wok, saute remaining shrimp, and then add to plate.
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in the wok then add zucchini and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and then stir fry until just barely crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and half the green onions then stir fry for another 30 seconds. Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok to create a well in the center then add the egg and sesame oil mixture. Let sit for 30 seconds then scramble, and then mix to incorporate into the vegetables.
Drain then add rice noodles to the wok and toss to combine. Add sauce then turn heat up to bring to a boil and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until rice noodles are tender. Add shrimp back into the wok then toss to combine. Divide noodles between bowls then top with reserved green onions, chopped peanuts, and chopped cilantro.
note: I used these noodles to make things even easier. There’s no soaking required and I just added them into the pan after the veggies sauté like the recipe calls for.
Enjoy!

I was totally craving Asian food the other day so I definitely need to try this. But I think I’ll substitute the shrimp for chicken since I’m not a big shrimp person.
