Instructions
TERIYAKI SAUCE

  1. Add all the contents of the sauce in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Mix the thickener together (Cornstarch + water) and add it to the sauce. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer till the sauce thickens. Once the sauce cools, store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator for a week.

PREPARING SHRIMP

  1. Massage 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the shrimp, cover it with water and add a cup of ice. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse the shrimp well with running water and pat dry. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and egg whites to the shrimp and mix well. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

NOODLES

  1. Cook the noodles as per the instructions on the package to the desired firmness. Drain the water and rinse with cold running water. Add few drops of oil and coat well. This ensures that the noodles don't stick and also stays well if stored in the refrigerator for few days.

PUTTING IT ALLTOGETHER - TERIYAKI SHRIMP NOODLES

  2. Add the carrots and sauté for a few seconds. Now add the shrimp. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and saute for a minute or so.

  3. Add 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce and let the shrimp simmer for a while till the shrimp get coated.

  4. Add the noodles and more sauce if needed. Mix well and transfer to a serving plate.

  5. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and garnish with chopped green onions.

Recipe Notes

I used orange juice. Pineapple juice is a good option too. If you don't have rice wine vinegar, you can substitute it with sweet red wine. You can use low sodium soy sauce instead of the regular soy sauce. Add the brown sugar 1 tablespoons at a time. Taste and add more as needed. White sugar can be added instead of brown sugar if you don't have it handy. Taste and adjust the amount of sugar as needed.
