How to Make Szechuan Shrimp Noodle Salad

  1. Cook 8 oz dried noodles according to package directions, usually about 10 minutes. Rinse under cold water and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup snow peas, 1/2 cup bean sprouts, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots.
  3. Cook for 1 minute. Immediately rinse the vegetables under cold water to stop the cooking process and retain their vibrant color and crispness. Refrigerate to cool.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Whisk 2 large eggs lightly and pour into the skillet.
  5. Cook, gently swirling the pan to create a thin omelet. Once cooked, remove from heat and shred into thin strips.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooled noodles, 10 oz cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), cooled vegetables, and shredded egg.
  7. Add your prepared Szechuan sauce (recipe below) and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later.
  8. **Szechuan Sauce:**
  9. Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns (ground), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference).
