And while I&#8217;ve ordered shrimp chow mein at many Chinese restaurants, not all of them cook the noodles until they&#8217;re as crispy as they should be.\u00a0Thankfully, I can achieve this exquisite texture at home with less oil (and more vegetables). Here&#8217;s how I make shrimp chow mein!<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the difference between chow mein and lo mein?<\/h2>\n<p>The difference is in the cooking technique and the noodles. For chow mein, we&#8217;ll use a thinner, dried egg noodle. Lo mein typically uses a thicker, fresh egg noodle. To make shrimp chow mein, the noodles are typically fried after being boiled, and that crispiness is maintained by adding noodles to the stir-fry after it&#8217;s done cooking. Lo mein uses boiled noodles that are added to and cooked with the stir-fry mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Look for chow mein noodles and lo mein noodles at specialty Asian markets or in the Asian section at any large grocery store.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Shrimp Chow Mein<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2048064\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Shrimp-Chow-Mein-FT24_277147_JR_0912_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Shrimp Chow Mein ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shrimp:<\/strong> Shrimp should be raw, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cleaned and deveined<\/a>. Remove the shells, too. Any size will do for this dish, but medium shrimp (31 to 40 per pound) are the best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chow mein noodles<\/strong>: You want the noodles packaged in blocks. You <em>don&#8217;t <\/em>want the prefried, loose-in-a-bag version, which won&#8217;t work well with this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables:<\/strong> I used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-chinese-cabbage\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-chinese-cabbage\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">napa cabbage<\/a>, carrots, bell peppers and bean sprouts to give my shrimp chow mein the right combination of texture and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oyster sauce, soy sauce and Shaoxing wine:<\/strong> Oyster sauce is a mainstay of Chinese cuisine. It has a briny, salty, umami flavor with subtle sweet notes. I combine it with soy sauce and Shaoxing wine, a Chinese cooking wine made from glutinous rice, to add depth of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic and fresh ginger:<\/strong> Both are a must in Chinese cooking! They are two of the three main ingredients used in Chinese cooking (the other is green onions).<\/li>\n<li><strong>White pepper:<\/strong> White pepper has an earthier flavor than black pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Marinate the shrimp<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2048063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Shrimp-Chow-Mein-FT24_277147_JR_0912_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Whisk together 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons wine with cornstarch and pepper then add shrimp and toss to coat\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of wine, the cornstarch and the pepper.

Set the bowl aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare the noodles<\/h3>\n<p>If the chow mein noodles are dried, boil them for about two minutes then drain them. Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add oil. When the hot oil begins to smoke, spread the noodles out evenly across the bottom of the wok. Fry the noodles without moving them until the bottom of the &#8220;noodle pancake&#8221; is golden brown, two to three minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Use a wide spatula to flip all the noodles at once. Then, add a bit more oil and fry until all the noodles are golden brown, about another three minutes. Set the noodles aside.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>If using fresh noodles, skip the boiling step and fry directly in the oil. You&#8217;ll need more oil for this.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Stir-fry the shrimp<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2048065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Shrimp-Chow-Mein-FT24_277147_JR_0912_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet and add shrimp until it turns pink\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
