Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (6 ounce) package chow mein noodles

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 cup uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

  2. While noodles cook, heat vegetable oil in a wok of large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and fry for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper; saute for 1 minute. Add ginger, parsley flakes, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and paprika; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, then add chicken broth and cook for 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in cornstarch and continue to cook until thickened. Add cooked chow mein noodles to the mixture; use tongs to toss and stir until noodles are fully coated. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and serve.

Cook's Note:

You can use ground ginger instead of fresh, and beef broth instead of chicken.
