Ingredients

1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
½ teaspoon (2-3g) minced ginger
1 tablespoon (2-3g) minced garlic chopped
½ medium onion, sliced
1 teaspoon (2-3g) sriracha (or more to taste)
¼ cup (60ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
½-1 cup (120-240ml) chicken broth
¼ cup (60ml) hoisin sauce
1 small red pepper, sliced
1 pound (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
vegetable oil for frying (about ½ cup)
½-1 pound (250-450g) noodles, cooked according to the package instructions
2 large green onions, sliced into 1-inch diagonal slices

Instructions

Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan or wok over medium heat (the oil should shimmer but not smoke). Saute the ginger and garlic for 1-2 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. Then, add the onions and sriracha.
Stir in soy sauce, chicken broth, and hoisin sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 3 minutes. Then, add red bell pepper, stir, and remove from heat.
Toss the shrimp in the cornstarch to coat. Remove from cornstarch, shake off excess, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Heat a wok (or heavy-bottomed saute pan) with 2-3 tablespoons oil, then add the shrimp. Let the shrimp set for about 30 seconds before stirring. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes until shrimp reaches desired doneness (they'll turn pink and opaque). Transfer the shrimp to a paper-towel-lined plate to remove excess oil and set aside.
Next, return the saucepan to medium heat and add the shrimp. Bring to a boil and stir well until heated through.
Adjust seasonings and sauce thickness to taste. Serve over noodles and garnish with the sliced green onions.
