Ingredients

  • 1 lb Wide Rice Noodles (Kway Teow)
  • 1/2 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 oz Chinese Sausage (Lap Cheong), sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cockles (optional)
  • 2 cups Bean Sprouts
  • 1/2 cup Chinese Chives, chopped
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Gluten-Free Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Gluten-Free Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Chili Paste (Sambal Oelek)
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Place a wok or large skillet over high heat. Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
  2. 2Add the 3 cloves of minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry until you can smell its fragrance, about 30 seconds.
  3. 3Add the 1/2 pound of shrimp and the 4 ounces of sliced Chinese sausage to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until the shrimp just begins to turn pink.
  4. 4Push the shrimp and sausage to one side of the wok. Crack the 2 large eggs into the empty side and lightly scramble them until they are mostly set, about 1 minute.
  5. 5Add the 1 pound of wide rice noodles, 2 tablespoons of gluten-free dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gluten-free light soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of chili paste to the wok. Stir everything together, coating the noodles well, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and have absorbed the sauces.
  6. 6Add the 1/2 cup of cockles (if using) and the 2 cups of bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until the bean sprouts are slightly softened but still crisp.
  7. 7Stir in the 1/2 cup of chopped Chinese chives and serve immediately.
