Notes
-
- Ramen: Look for the instant version of these squiggly noodles…you can get them in any flavor since we won’t be using the flavor packet this time. They are waiting for you in the soup aisle of your supermarket!
-
- Soy sauce: As always, we recommend the low sodium variety of soy sauce. You can always add salt but you can’t take it out!
-
- Sesame oil: Look for this flavorful oil in the international section of your supermarket.
-
- Chili oil: This is an optional addition to our sauce, because (as you might have guessed) it adds some heat!
-
- Shrimp: We go for large shrimp in this recipe, but any size shrimp will work.
