Shrimp-and-Basil Glass-Noodle Stir-Fry

Step 1

Place noodles in a baking dish; cover with boiling water. Let stand until tender and translucent, about 10 minutes; drain. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and 1/4 cup water.

Step 2

Heat a wok or large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. When it begins to smoke, swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add shallots, lemongrass, ginger, and chile. Cook until sizzling and aromatic, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large plate.

Step 3

Return wok to high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add mushrooms, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Step 4

Return wok to high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add shrimp and snap peas, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and just cooked through and peas are charred in places, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Step 5

Return wok to high heat. Swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add eggs and scramble with a fork, cooking until they are beginning to set but still very wet, about 15 seconds. Quickly return shallot mixture, mushrooms, shrimp, and snap peas to skillet. Add noodles and soy-sauce mixture; season with pepper. Cook, tossing, until combined and heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in basil, and serve.
