I Ordered 12 Boxes of Rice Noodles!

Greg has recently become a HUGE fan of rice noodles so I decided to order a 12-pack from Amazon. I figured they last forever and is a total deal compared to supermarket prices. Since I now had an abundance of rice noodles to experiment with, I thought I'd try something new. This is my version of Chow Mein, which is pretty much like Fried Rice except with noodles instead. Super quick since I used Rotisserie Chicken and Cooked Shrimp. Not the most authentic but VERY yummy!




Ingredients:


1 c rice noodles, cooked and drained
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Fish sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
3-4 dried red chiles
1 Tbsp minced ginger
2 green onions, sliced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 egg, lightly scrambled
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp brown sugar
8 large cooked shrimp
1 c cooked chicken, chopped
1 tsp toasted sesame oil


Prep:


1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, fish sauce, rice wine, cornstarch and white pepper. Set aside.


2. Place a wok or large pan over a high heat and add oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, chiles, garlic, ginger and green onions. Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes.


3. Add the egg stir briskly until almost set. Stir in the noodles, curry and brown sugar.


4. Add the chicken and shrimp. Cook until heated through. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.

I admire your thriftiness. That is a good deal on the noodles. We do that with dried spaghetti at Costco. We just load up, since we use the stuff all the time and it lasts forever.
