Quick Tips
- 1
Cook shrimp last
Shrimp needs only 2 to 3 minutes total — add it at the very end and pull the pan off the heat as soon as the shrimp curls and turns pink.
- 2
Undercook the noodles
Boil them 1 to 2 minutes shy of the package time, then drain and rinse. They finish cooking in the sauce without turning mushy.
- 3
Mix the sauce first
Stir the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar together in a cup before you start. Once the pan is hot you have about 60 seconds to work.
- 4
Get the pan hot
Heat oil over medium-high until it shimmers and cook in two batches. A crowded pan steams the vegetables instead of searing them.
