Shrimp and cabbage lo mein
Ingredients
Instructions 1) Cook linguine or lo mein in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, return to pot, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and red-pepper flakes; set mixture aside. 2) While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add shrimp and half the garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet.) 3) Place cabbage, remaining garlic, and 1/2 cup water in skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is crisp tender, 6-7 minutes. To pot with linguine, add cabbage, soy sauce mixture and shrimp; toss to combine. Serve, garnished with cilantro, if desired. 4) Story: This recipe needs perfecting--we think it has too much ginger and too much vinegar. Next time we're going to try it with 1 tsp of ginger, 3 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp sesame oil. It's definitely worth another try! Yield: 4 servings Source: March 2008 Contributor: Annie |
