Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by prepping the shrimp. Remove the heads, peel off the shells, and carefully remove the intestines using the tip of a knife.
- Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Slice the fresh chili pepper finely.
- Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and membranes, then slice them into thin strips.
- Separate the broccoli into small florets.
- Slice the leek into thin rounds.
-
Cook the Chicken and Shrimp:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. This will be used for cooking the noodles later.
- Heat a wok or a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the vegetable oil.
- Add the chicken breast to the wok, seasoning it with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until it’s browned and cooked through.
- Add the shrimp to the wok, followed by half of the soy sauce. Continue stir-frying until the shrimp turns pink and are cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shrimp from the wok and set them aside.
-
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- In the same wok, add the remaining vegetable oil and toss in the sliced garlic and chili pepper. Stir-fry for a minute to release their aromas.
- Add the sliced leek to the pan, followed by a splash of water. Stir to combine and deglaze the wok.
- Once the leek begins to soften, add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and green beans to the pan. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and stir-fry for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
-
Cook the Noodles:
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles in the boiling salted water according to package instructions (usually around 5 minutes). Drain the noodles and set them aside.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add the cooked chicken and shrimp back to the wok, mixing everything together.
- Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss everything to combine. The heat will warm up the noodles, and the soy sauce and vegetable juices will infuse them with flavor.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added crunch and garnish.
-
Serving:
- Serve your Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp hot, straight from the wok to your plate. Enjoy this delightful one-dish meal with its vibrant flavors and nutritious ingredients!
