One of my favorite things to cook when I'm not making soup is stir fries. Why? Because its an easy way to throw in my favorite vegetables in one meal while being ready in under 30 minutes. I've been cooking shrimp more often lately and one of my favorite combinations is making stir fries with shrimp and my easy homemade Chinese takeout sauce. My homemade sauce is addictively savory and sweet with some crunch and a bit of heat from the chili crisps that compliment the shrimp and vegetables, especially the bok choy so well. I usually crave recipes like this one on the weekends but its also a great recipe when I have a bunch of leftover vegetables and some noodles on hand during the week. The next time you're craving and Asian noodle stir fry dish with shrimp, try this recipe!
