shrimp tjap tjoi with bami, beansprouts

2020-10-03

Now that I am starting to shop at Peppers again, I can buy beansprouts again.
Walmart doesn't seem to carry them, at least, I've never seen them there.

The Birdseye Teriyaki stir-fry mix that Walmart sell is also something I'll keep away from in the future. This used to be a very nice mix, at least 3/4 vegetables, now it's 90+ % noodles with hardly any vegetables. I had to add other vegetables to make it reasonably balanced.

Bami noodles supposedly are made with wheat flour, not rice flour, in other words, they're just another shape of pasta that is cooked and then refried.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4+ servings:

up to 1 lb. bami noodles
1 lb. beansprouts
mixed vegetables of your choice
tjap tjoy spices OR
onion, garlic, soy sauce

Pic2+3: hardly any vegetables in this :-(
Pic4: I added mixed vegetables

Combine bami noodles and vegetables in a cooking pot.

Pic5: add water, stew
Pic6+7: add spices, shrimp

Add water, bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Add shrimp and spices.

Pic8: simmer
Pic9: rinse beansprouts
Pic10: add beansprouts and mix

Mix and simmer a few minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and rinse the beansprouts. Discard any wilted sprouts.
Add to the pot.

Pic11: warm through
Pic12+13: served

If the mix is hot enough, mixing the beansprouts in the rest is enough, no further cooking required.
Additional cooking will wilt the beansprouts very quickly.
Serve and enjoy.
