Ingredients
  • 1 8-ounce package rice noodles
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped (use shiitake or button mushrooms)
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (rice cooking wine)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Cilantro, as a garnish
Instructions
  1. Cook noodles according to the directions on the package and set aside. In a wok or stir-fry pan, heat one teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until slightly opaque. Stir in the scallions, then remove the mixture from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  2. Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in the same pan that you used to cook the shrimp, then add mushrooms and celery. Cook them until they are just barely tender when poked with a fork. Add the curry powder and toss until the vegetables are completely coated.
  3. Add teriyaki sauce and mirin and mix until all ingredients are well-blended. wine; Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix cornstarch with two tablespoons of water then add to stir fry mixture. Add cooked shrimp and noodles and mix until noodles, shrimp and sauce are well blended. Serve garnished with cilantro, if desired.  Serves 4-6.
  4. Note: I would add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes to punch up the flavor a bit, especially if you like your food with a little bit of heat.
