Instructions

Step 1

Place shrimp in a bowl and marinate with salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, shaoxing wine, cornstarch and oil. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the rest of your ingredients

Step 2

Prepare your vegetables and set aside, separating your scallion whites and greens.

Step 3

Premix your sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, water, cornstarch and msg.

Step 4

Cook your lo mein noodles about 2 minutes less than package directions, drain, then rinse with cold water and drain dry. Coat with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Over high heat, sear your shrimp in 3 tbsp of avocado oil for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and set aside.

Step 6

In the remaining oil, sauté your garlic and ginger for 15 seconds, followed by the scallion white and veggies, except the scallion greens and bean sprouts. Sauté for a few minutes until slightly wilted, then add your noodles, shrimp, and sauce and mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and is evenly coated. Add scallion greens and bean sprouts, mix, and enjoy!
