Yield: 8 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
6: Skeins dried shrimp noodles,
1/2 cup: Dried shrimp,
1: Egg,
1 tsp: Water,
1/2 lbs: Barbecued pork,
2 Stalks: celery,
2 cup: Bean sprouts, blanched
1 Medium: yellow onion,
1: Green bell pepper,
1 Medium: firm tomato,
2 Cloves: garlic, minced
1 tsp: Fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp: Curry powder,
4 tbsp: Peanut oil,
SAUCE
1/2 cup: Stock,
2 tsp: Thin soy sauce,
1 tsp: Sugar,
1 tsp: Chili oil,
Directions:
Noodles: Rinse shrimp noodles. Boil noodles in water until cooked
but still firm. These thin noodles only take about 3 minutes to
reach this stage. Drain, reserving boiling water, & rinse with cold
water until noodles are cooled & will not stick together. Place in
oiled bowl, refrigerate until firm. The noodles must be firm before
frying. Can be prepared day before.
Preparation: Wash & soak dried shrimp for 30 minutes; cut into thin
pieces. Combine egg & water; cook as very thin omelet; cool; slice
into 2" long shreds. Thinly slice pork to match. Blanch bean sprouts
in noodle water (this water will have other uses, so hold onto it).
Peel strings off celery stalks, thinly slice. Peel & halve onions,
slice thinly. Core pepper, slice thinly in 2" lengths. Slice tomato
in thin wedges. OR: slice these vegetables to match size of bean
sprouts for better looking dish (a good shredder does this job
quickly). Mix sauce ingredients in bowl.
Stir-fry: Add 1/2 of peanut oil to hot wok. When oil begins to
smoke, toss in garlic, ginger, shrimp & vegetables, except tomato;
stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes. Add sauce, & continue cooking
until sauce reduces by half. Remove to holding bowl.
Rinse wok; return to high heat; when it is dry, reduce heat to medium
& add remaining peanut oil. Heat oil to moderate (don`t let it
smoke); add curry powder, stirring to mix with oil. Avoid burning
curry; if it burns, start over. Cook curry powder for about 30
seconds. Add noodles a fist-full at a time, breaking noodles into
short pieces. Toss noodles to coat & heat them. When hot, add cooked
shrimp & vegetables; toss together to mix. Turn off heat. Add pork,
egg shreds & tomato wedges; mix together. Serve. By the time dish is
on the table, tomatoes will be hot, but still firm.
