Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 pound shrimp 16/20 count, peeled and deveined, tails left intact
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 pound fresh rice noodles, cut into 3/4-inch wide strips
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound fresh mung bean sprouts
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- 1 head romaine, outer leaves removed, cut into squares
Instructions
- Make the Rad Na sauce: Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small pot and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Set aside. (Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
- Heat a skillet or wok until smoking hot. Add the canola oil and heat again until smoking. Add the shrimp and let cook on one side for about a minute and a half. Flip the shrimp, cook for another minute, and then transfer to a plate — the shrimp should still look slightly uncooked (they’ll continue cooking as they sit and they’ll finish cooking at the end when they are tossed with all of the hot ingredients).
- Let the oil heat up again, another 20 seconds or so, then add the eggs. Stir vigorously to break up the egg as they cook.
- Add the noodles, crushed pepper, and Rad Na Sauce. Stir to combine and coat noodles. When noodles are hot and coated with the sauce, add most of the scallions, most of the sprouts, and most of the peanuts. Return the shrimp to the pan, stir well to combine and coat all of the ingredients with the sauce and remove from heat.
- Divide the lettuce between 4 bowls. Top with the hot noodle mixture and garnish with the remaining scallions, bean sprouts, and peanuts. Serve immediately.
