Cellophane Noodles with Shrimp
I was very excited to make this meal, as the as the photo looked fabulous. Well, mine didn't turn out quite so fabulous. I am actually embarrassed to post it. It looks like a blob of yuck. Surprisingly, it tasted very good (cellophane noodles, shrimp, green onions, garlic, shallots, asian fish sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce). It was more on the bland side compared to the other meals I tried. But...then I realized I forgot to add the ginger which was still on the counter after our meal. I believe I soaked the cellophane noodles too long, and they were mush and stuck together. I want to give this one another attempt...

Yes, these taste as good as they look. These came out perfect. I need to practice my stir frying skills. It all just happens so fast. The beans were cooked, but not over cooked, yet still were crispy. They were a bit spicy (garlic, ginger, asian chili sauce, soy sauce), which seems to be a common thread in these meals. Once the technique is down, it's easy to make. This whole meal took me 30 mintues. Rachael Ray would be so proud.
Normally I eat cellophane noodels with some sort of broth and alot of veggies. This is different. These noodles are sticky.
ReplyDeleteThe green beans look delicious! Great job!
