Indonesian Fried Noodles

Ingredients

• 8 oz egg noodles
• 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sambal oelek
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 2 tbsp green chilies, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 8 oz egg noodles in boiling salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sambal oelek. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the 8 oz shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the cooked noodles to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred in spots.

5. 5

   Return the shrimp to the skillet, pour in the soy-sambal mixture, and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce coats the noodles.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and stir in the 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 3 sliced green onions, and 2 tbsp green chilies. Serve immediately.

7. 7

   Optional: add a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of sugar for extra brightness.
