Tips for making this recipe

  • Prepare all the vegetables ahead: This dish comes out very quickly once you start the stir-frying process. Ensure you prepare all the veggies ahead, so they’re ready to go when you need to throw them into the wok and prevent them from burning.
  • Cut the veggies into different shapes: Cutting the vegetables into different shapes adds texture to the dish.
  • Don’t overcook the veggies: You want your veggies tender but still crispy. Keep an eye on it, and don’t let them overcook.
  • Use a large wok to get the best results: If you use a pan that is too small, it won’t be easy to toss all the ingredients together, and your vegetables won’t cook as quickly as if you were stir-frying them on a larger one.

  2. Didn’t have all the ingredients. Mainly jalapeno and red peppers I wanted to use up. Basically boiled the pasta while chopping up the vegetables, stir fried vegetables, then the shrimp, then the pasta, then poured the sauce on top. The garlic and ginger made it tasty. Will definitely make this again!
