225 grams chow mein noodles
60 milliliters chicken stock
30 milliliters dry sherry
30 milliliters oyster sauce
22.5 milliliters soy sauce
10 milliliters toasted sesame oil
5 milliliters light brown sugar
1.25 milliliters ground black pepper
30 milliliters canola oil
120 grams matchstick carrots
120 grams thinly sliced onion
1/2 stalk celery, diagonally sliced
22.5 milliliters finely chopped fresh ginger
5 milliliters finely chopped garlic
340 grams uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
240 milliliters bean sprouts
4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
150 grams fresh baby spinach
Step 1
Boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Add noodles and cook until tender but still firm, about 3-5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, sherry, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the pan. Once hot, add carrots, onion, celery, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until almost done, about 2 minutes. Push vegetables and shrimp to one side of the pan and add the chicken stock mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce is hot.
Step 4
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and mix well with the sauce and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles have absorbed the sauce, about 2 minutes. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach until just wilted. Serve immediately.
