Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by making the sauce: whisk the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil together; set aside. At this point, you should also cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  • Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the shrimp and cook it until it’s pink, making sure not to overcook it. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp.
  • Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then add the bell pepper, carrots and broccoli and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp back into the skillet, then pour in the sauce and give everything a good stir before adding in the noodles. Use tongs to toss everything together.
  • Garnish with green onion (optional) and enjoy!
