Quick and flavorful seafood stir-fry with shrimp, broccoli, and noodles in a savory fish sauce. A must-try for Asian food lovers.
Ingredients:
  • 8 oz uncooked Chinese noodles or vermicelli
  • 1 lb uncooked deveined peeled medium shrimp (31 to 35 count)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 red jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • Prepare the noodles following the instructions on the package until they reach your preferred firmness. Drain the noodles and cover them to maintain their warmth.
  • Spray a 12-inch skillet or wok with cooking spray and heat over high heat until hot. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside. Drain skillet if needed.
  • Add freshly grated gingerroot and minced garlic to a sizzling skillet; sauté for just 30 seconds to release their aromatic flavors. Toss in the broccoli florets, chopped chile, and 1/4 cup of broth; cover and let it simmer for 1 to 3 minutes until the broccoli reaches the perfect crisp-tender texture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup broth, fish sauce, and cornstarch until smooth. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and pour in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and the shrimp turn pink. Mix in the noodles until well coated and heated through. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
