Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Gao Jie.
Today we are making stir fry noodles with shrimp.
First make the dough for noodles.
If you don’t have time to make noodles, you can buy some.
Udon or thicker noodles are good choices.
If you happen to have some time and flour, you can make noodles easily.
All-purpose flour,
add salt and soda ash.
Stir while adding water.
Rub with your hands until no dry flour in the bowl.
Knead it into a ball.
The noodle dough should be firm.
Rest it.
Then knead it.
Rest again.
Knead again.
A very firm dough became smooth with very less effort.
Before making noodles, rest it for one hour.
Prepare vegetables.
Onions, minced garlic, green onions and dried chilies.
Shrimp, add salt,
white pepper and starch.
Stir.
The dough is ready, let's make noodles.
Sprinkle with corn starch.
Press down by hands.
Flatten it with a rolling pin.
Roll it on a rolling pin.
It takes no time to roll it out into a flat sheet.
Sprinkle enough starch.
Roll up.
Fold.
Cut into two.
Look at the thickness of the dough.
The width of your cut is the same of the thickness.
The cross section of the noodle is a small square.
When noodles are boiling, they expand a little,
so the width and thickness of your cut should be slightly thinner than the noodles you want in the end.
Shake loose.
There is one last step.
Stretch it gently.
Don't stretch too hard, feel the strength of the gluten.
Then use your pinkie.
The stretched noodles can be wrapped around your hands.
They became thinner and longer after stretching.
Our thick noodles are ready.
Put it into boiling water.
The noodles are relatively thick, cook for 4-5 minutes.
Put it in cold water after cooking, it becomes smooth and slippery.
Drain it.
Coat with oil.
Noodles are ready for stir fry.
Stir fry the noodles just before serving.
The same pot we used for boiling noodles. Don't turn the heat on.
The water is still hot, about 80 degrees Celsius.
Use it to cook shrimp.
Very quickly , one to two minutes.
Small shrimps will be ready in less than a minute.
When the shrimps completely change colour, take them out.
Pour oil in a wok.
When the oil is becoming hot, add chili and minced garlic.
You don’t have to put chili.
Put onions.
Stir fry.
Put the noodles.
Fry the noodles until they are hot.
Add oyster sauce,
fish sauce,
and soy sauce.
All three are salty, don’t pour too much.
Stir fry the seasoning until fragrant and wrap around on the noodles.
Finally add the shrimp and green onions.
After a quick stir-fry, turn off the heat.
A little sesame oil and sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds.
Fish sauce and oyster sauce make the seafood flavour very rich.
A little bit of sweetness from the oyster sauce adds a lot of aftertaste too.
Shrimp is very tender, since it was cooked quickly at a lower temperature.
Of course, the winner of this bowl of stir fry noodles is our handmade noodles.
