How to Make Asparagus Shrimp Noodles

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of chili paste (adjust to your spice preference) and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add 1 pound of asparagus (fresh or frozen) and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  6. Cover the wok and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Add 1/2 cup of water chestnuts and cover until heated through (about 1 minute).
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  9. Return the shrimp to the wok. Add the soy sauce mixture and heat through.
  10. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  11. Add the cornstarch mixture to the wok, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  12. Add 8 ounces of cooked pasta (linguine, fettuccine, or your favorite shape) and toss to coat thoroughly.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
