The beauty of a stir fry is how fast it comes together, and this shrimp stir fry with noodles is proof. The secret sauce, so to speak, is a mix of honey, umami-rich soy sauce, and a kick of chili-garlic sauce. This sweet, spicy mixture deliciously coats shrimp and tender rice noodles for a delightful, Asian-inspired dish.

The saucy noodles and shrimp are accompanied by meaty shiitake mushrooms and crisp ribbons of bok choy. Add more veggies if you have them; the more the merrier! It doesn't get much better—or easier—than this dinner packed with veggies, protein, and a whole lot of flavor.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Asian chili-garlic sauce

  • teaspoons grated garlic (from 3 cloves)

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

  • 1 (5-oz.) package sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms (3 cups)

  • 3 heads baby bok choy, sliced (4 cups)

  • 1 pound peeled, deveined, extra-large raw shrimp, patted dry

  • 1 (8-oz.) package rice stick noodles, soaked according to package directions

Directions

  1. Whisk honey, vinegar, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, garlic, and cornstarch in a small bowl, and set aside.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.

  3. Add bok choy and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add shrimp and cook, flipping occasionally, until just opaque in centers, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Add the honey mixture and soaked, drained noodles to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and coats the noodles, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the mushroom mixture, and serve.
