- Add carrot, cook for one minute and then add bok choy. Stir fry for an additional minute.
- Place shrimp in the pan and cover the pan. When the shrimp is cooked, add noodles** and cooking sauce. Pour in a little more water if the stir fry seems too dry.
- Push stir fry to one side of the pan and add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil.
- Crack eggs directly into the pan and use the spatula to scramble them. Mix into stir fry ingredients and continue to cook until the eggs are set.
- Sprinkle with green onion rounds before serving.
- *You can use any type of long noodle (spaghetti, linguine, etc) in this recipe.
- **If using dried rice noodles, cover with lukewarm water, soak for 30 minutes and drain. If using dried spaghetti, cook al dente according to package directions and drain. Fresh noodles do not need any preparation and can be added to the pan as is.
- Hack: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen in serving-sized portions for up to 2 months.
- Hack: Shrimp can be purchased individually from the seafood counter at most grocery stores. They can be purchased frozen in large portions if you wish to keep some on hand. Thaw needed amounts before cooking.
