spicy rice noodles with shrimp

Thaw the frozen shrimp and dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Clean the vegetables and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. There are various ways to prepare rice noodles. I always pour boiling water over them and let them stand for about 9-10 minutes to soak. Then drain well and rinse briefly under cold water to prevent further cooking. Preheat a wok and heat the peanut oil and sesame oil in it. First, fry the shrimp briefly and quickly. Then remove them from the wok immediately. Also fry the chopped vegetables, except for the sprouts, in the wok. Then remove the vegetables. Now add the noodles to the wok and mix them with the ketjab manis and sambal oelek – please reduce the heat slightly. Then stir in all the vegetables and shrimp and serve. Tips: If you like, you can also put sesame oil on the table. The same dish can also be prepared with diced chicken breast. I always set the whole wok out on the table and everyone helps themselves.
