This tasty meal in a bowl tastes authentic and cooks up in just 10 minutes. Even better, you probably have everything you need on hand.
Ingredients
340-g pkg frozen uncooked large shrimp, peeled
900-ml carton chicken broth
14-g dried oyster mushrooms, or 1 250-g pkg sliced button mushrooms
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger, or 1 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
3 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp hot hot red-chili flakes
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1-in bundle thick rice-stick noodles, about 50 g
2 green onions
Instructions
Thaw shrimp following package directions. Combine broth, mushrooms and ginger in a large saucepan. Stir in vinegar, sugar, ¼ tsp (1 mL) chili flakes and sesame oil. Bring to a boil.
Break noodles so they are about 4 in. (10 cm) long. Separate and add to soup. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for 4 min. Stir often to keep noodles separated. Then stir in shrimp. Cover and continue simmering just until shrimp are bright pink and noodles tender, about 3 more min. Taste and add remaining chili flakes or more sesame oil if you like. Stir in onions.
