Aromatic, flavourful & delicious shrimp Asian style noodle stir fry…
This is one of my favorite Asian dishes, and I make it quite often. As a shrimp fanatic, I love adding shrimp to most of my stir fries. This dish is a delightful and perfect one-pot meal that combines tender shrimp with flavorful rice noodles and a variety of fresh vegetables.
To enhance the aroma and taste, I always include a few key ingredients like pure sesame oil, fresh basil leaves, ginger, and garlic. For the best results, I use a large wok and stir fry everything over high heat.
This recipe is versatile and can also be made with chicken, your choice of veggies, and different types of noodles.
It’s absolutely delicious, filling, and easy to make. Give it a try and enjoy! 😊
