Ingredients:

  • 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • ½ lb. shi dan mian (thin egg noodles)
  • 1 tsp. shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)
  • 3 tsp. cornstarch
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 16 jumbo shrimp, shelled, deveined, and butterflied
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 scallions, white parts only, julienned
  • 6 thin slices peeled fresh ginger, julienned
  • ¼ lb. Smithfield ham, julienned
  • 1 lb. fresh spinach, washed and blanched
  • 2 cups unsalted chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp. sugar
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Soak shiitakes in a bowl of hot water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain, squeeze out excess water, discard stems, and julienne caps. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook for about 4 minutes, then drain, scatter on a clean surface, and let dry for 1 hour.
  2. Combine shaoxing, 1 tsp. cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Add shrimp and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Heat 3 tbsp. vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Spread noodles in wok to form an 8” ”cake” and fry until edges are golden, about 5 minutes. Slide noodle cake onto a plate, add 3 tbsp. oil to wok, return noodle cake to pan, soft side down, and fry for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and set aside. Add remaining 2 tbsp. oil to wok and stir-fry shiitakes, scallions, ginger, and ham for 3 minutes. Add shrimp and stir-fry until opaque, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, stir-fry for 1 minute, then spoon mixture onto center of noodle cake.
  4. Bring stock, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar to a boil in wok. Season with pepper. Dissolve remaining 2 tsp. cornstarch in 1 tbsp. water, add to stock, and stir for 1 minute. Pour over stir-fry and noodles.
