Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chinese plum sauce
- 1/4 cup water, or as needed
- 8 ounces thin Chinese wheat-flour noodles
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 ribs bok choy, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices and greens shredded
- 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces medium shrimp (about 20), shelled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- Toasted pine nuts for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.
- Stir together the plum sauce and water in a small bowl. (Add water, as needed, to bring the sauce to a maple-syrup consistency.) Set aside.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the noodles. When the water returns to a boil, stir once to separate the noodles. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until tender, about 3 minutes; drain well. Return the noodles to the pan and toss with about half of the sauce. Cover to keep warm.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy (with greens), bell pepper, scallions, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and five-spice powder; cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through.
- To serve, arrange the noodles in bowls and top with the shrimp-vegetable mixture. Drizzle with the remaining sauce.
- Makes 4 servings
