Asparagus Shrimp Noodles


This was the result of a very poorly followed recipe. we were pleasantly surprised with the result and will be checking out local weight watchers groups tomorrow. the asparagus can be either fresh or frozen. i used frozen and that worked out just fine. Also, if you like more heat, increase the amount of chili paste.

Steps


In a wok , heat oil.
Add shrimp and stir-fry until shrimp are pink.
Remove shrimp and set aside.
Add garlic and stir-fry until just beginning to color.
Add chili paste , stir-fry 30 seconds.
Add asparagus.
Stir-fry 3 minutes then put on lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
Stir occasionally to keep asparagus from burning.
Add water chestnuts and cover until heated through.
Whisk together soy sauce , ginger and sugar.
Return shrimp to wok and add soy sauce mixture.
Heat through.
Add cornstarch mixture to wok , stirring constantly.
Add water while stirring until sauce is a satisfactory consistency.
Add cooked pasta and mix thoroughly.
Enjoy !.
