Jump to Recipe | Save RecipeHave you ever been so angry about something that you can’t think of anything else but that one thing? Even if its been resolved?
That’s me right now. I’m sitting here stewing and livid. I try not to have a lot of negative energy in life but our internet provider threw us for a loop yesterday and completely ruined our evening and wasted our time. I don’t like getting played!
I know there are worse things that could happen in life and I know we should be thankful that we have internet. I get all that. It’s just hard when you’re in the moment to think of how lucky you are, which is why I’m writing this now – so I can reflect on this later and be grateful.
ANYWAY. Sometimes you just have to laugh about it and let it go and eat a big bowl of ginger garlic shrimp noodle stir fry :)
This noodle stir fry is PACKED with flavor. If you like some heat in your food, then you’ll love this dish BUT the beauty of making your own meals is the fact that you can tweak to what you like. If you don’t like heat, you can easily omit the heat in this dish but if you like a lot of heat, you can add a lot! It’s very versatile.
I love the thick sauce that coats the noodles and the shrimp sprinkled throughout. You’re gonna love this dinner if this is on your menu!
Hold me. I’m going in!

100% disgusting. I felt weird about adding almost a cup of soy sauce, and I should've trusted my instincts. So much salt no one was able to finish their plates.

@Julie, then add less. You are supposed to be cooking not following a formula.

This recipe sucked so bad. I knew that was an insane clown posse sized cup of soy sauce but I still threw it in and ruined my dish anyways. Very terrible, don’t feed this to your family. On the upside I’m not really hungry anymore.

I'll be preparing this dish tonight and have already purchased the ingredients as written. I usually use snow peas for stir fry and it appears you dish has the same at least the pics on the site has snow peas. However the ingredient list says sugar snap peas? Is that a typo or are you wanting people to use sugar snap peas? I'll give a full review after this evening. I'm looking forward to cooking this dish. Thank you for your recipe.

We totally enjoyed this meal. We used sugar snap peas and just like you said, they worked perfectly. Changed nothing in the recipe however we really like spicy and we added dried chili peppers to our noodles water and let it set before cooking those. Excellent recipe and we added to our Asian meal cooking routine. Thanks again for sharing.

hi! thanks for catching that; it is a typo in the sense that the photos don't match the ingredient listed (in the photos, you are correct they are snow peas), but it's okay! snap peas will work for this too and will not alter the flavor. i tend to interchangeably use them so that's why i mixed it up by accident. again, thank you for catching it and i hope you enjoy the recipe!
