Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the shrimp: avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Remove the noodles 2 minutes before the indicated time so they stay firm during the stir‑fry.
  • Sauce absorption: toss until the sauce is almost fully absorbed for optimal texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Be careful when removing the shrimp from the heat; they can be very hot.
  • Use gloves or a cloth to handle the hot wok.
