Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak the 8 oz glass noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable, then drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Add the drained noodles, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water. Toss constantly until the noodles are tender and coated, about 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through. Serve hot.

  7. Step 7

    Taste and add more soy sauce or a squeeze of lime if you like.
