Shrimp Chow Mein | Classic Chinese-Style Shrimp Noodle Stir-Fry

Shrimp Chow Mein is a flavorful and satisfying noodle dish made with juicy shrimp, chewy chow mein noodles, crisp vegetables, garlic, ginger, and a savory Chinese-style stir-fry sauce. Everything is cooked quickly over high heat, giving the noodles a delicious lightly toasted aroma while keeping the shrimp tender and the vegetables crisp.

The sauce combines soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of rice vinegar for a balanced savory flavor. This easy homemade takeout-style meal is perfect for busy weeknight dinners, quick lunches, or family meals.

Cooking Method

Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package directions until just tender.
Drain and rinse the noodles briefly under cold water.
Toss the noodles with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining oil.
Add the sliced onion, carrot, and bell pepper.
Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, keeping the vegetables slightly crisp.
Add the cabbage, garlic, and ginger.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the shrimp to the wok.
Add the cooked noodles.
Pour in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and white pepper.
Toss everything together over high heat for 2–3 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts and green onions.
Stir-fry for another 1 minute.
Add chili sauce if desired.
