Yeo Kyung-ok's Shrimp Chow Mein

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid stirring the noodles too often while frying, as this can ruin the crisp texture. Let the bottom side cook undisturbed until it becomes completely crisp like a cracker—this is key to achieving the perfect texture.
• Instead of ramen soup packet, use 3 tablespoons of store-bought oyster sauce to build the base. This results in a milder, cleaner, and more authentic deep umami flavor typical of traditional Chinese chumian.
• For a hint of spicy warmth and tingling sensation, add 1/2 tablespoon of doubanjiang or a dash of chili oil during the early stages of sautéing for excellent balance.
