Quick and Easy Ginger Shrimp Noodles

Ginger Shrimp Noodles is a very simple and quick Chinese pan fried noodles preparation. Garlic and Shrimp is always a Hit and very common combination. I wanted to get over of the duo so I opted for ginger and gave it a try. And as you can see it was a great success. It can have loads of variations from sea food to different meat and even veggies as well. All you need to do is cook the noodle and throw everything in the pan; Voila you are done with it.

I chose this super quick recipe for Chinese New Year Special Dinner. I’m pairing this noodle with Five Spice Oven Baked Chicken. This gonna be my Golden Festive Days. Yeah.
