Whenever I eat noodles from any Asian restaurants I always wished if I could make such tasting noodles at home. And I kept wishing for many years. A few weeks ago I had curry chicken and vegetable noodles for lunch from Manchu Wok in my campus, I totally loved it especially the taste of the noodles. Since then, I&#8217;ve been experimenting different recipes with noodles. I&#8217;ve always used rice noodles or vermicelli, so this time I tried with dried chow mein noodles.<\/p>\n<p>I found out that using dried chow mein noodles gave a really delicious taste rather than using rice noodles. Also, I love shrimp in my noodles rather than chicken or beef. So, go ahead and try this recipe. Just like me, you will be making this quite often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shrimp Chow Mein<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7513\" title=\"Shrimp-chow mein\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Shrimp-chow-mein-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Shrimp-chow-mein-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Shrimp-chow-mein-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Shrimp-chow-mein-1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dried chow mein noodles- 1\/2 packet or according to your needs<\/li>\n<li>Butter- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, chopped- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ginger, chopped- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Green chili, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li>Small onions, chopped- 7<\/li>\n<li>Red Onion, chopped small- 1<\/li>\n<li>Green pepper, diced- 1<\/li>\n<li>Shrimp, deveined, large- 15<\/li>\n<li>Soy sauce- 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Sambal Oelek or Ground Chili paste (optional)- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Green onions, chopped- 2 stalks<\/li>\n<li>Sesame oil- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Water, to cook noodles- 1 &#8211;
