I whipped up some easy Stir Fried Chinese Noodles with Shrimp the other night… And I threw every vegetable in there that I could think of…
Every week on the first day off from work, I clean out my refrigerator’s produce cabinets as I rotate out any meals that need to visit the trash can. And this pass week I came across some carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and green onions as I kept digging through my jungle of a produce cabinet (Why do those damn cabinets always get junkie? Geez!).
Stir Fried Chinese Noodles with Shrimp
So when it was time to meal plan for my next week of meals, I grabbed some Chinese noodles, shrimp, and bok choy to make this stir fry. Because I’m not trying to throw away those expensive veggies! They were still good…. They still had some shelf life…
And if you end up with a similar situation just as I have encountered, you can add whatever veggies you have in the fridge. Let this Stir Fried Chinese Noodles with Shrimp recipe be a guide to help you make your own creation!
Peace! It’s spring break baby!
Recipe Notes
- Add more vegetables that you want or have available.
- Increase the amount of vegetables if you want to your liking.
- I like to cook my vegetables separately as this prevents overcooking vegetables that take a shorter time to cook.

Yes it is very easy in my opinion. Just stir fry a few veggies and shrimp. Then throw in your cooked noodles! Thanks for stopping by!
That is an excellent and easy to make recipe, plus you get to use any veggies you got left in the fridge, so it’s absolutely perfect!:)
Moreover, like you mentioned, it’s spring, so we are officially on Lent here in Greece, for 40 days until Easter. This means that we’ll be having A LOT of seafood recipes, and this one certainly is one of the best choices.
Thanx so much dear Sharee!
Sending you lots and lots (and lots) of hugs,
