Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 0.5 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
For the Stir Fry
  • 0.5 lb fresh egg noodles preferably fresh for better texture
  • 80 g Chinese sausages, sliced pick a brand with a savory sweetness
  • 10-12 pieces shrimp or as many as you like
  • 0.5 whole onion, julienned
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped fresh garlic is key for flavor
  • 1 cup julienned carrot
  • 2 cups Chinese broccoli, stems thinly sliced on a bias leaves roughly chopped
  • 0.5 cup red pepper, chopped
  • 2 pieces green onions, optional, chopped
  • 3 pieces Calamansi or 1 lime for that zesty kick

Method
 

Make the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, and water.
Cook the Noodles
  1. Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions (around 2-3 minutes for fresh noodles). Prepare a bowl of ice-cold water to shock the noodles immediately after cooking. Drain and set aside.
Sear the Sausages
  1. Heat a little oil in a hot wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced Chinese sausages, searing them until they're blistered and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp
  1. Sear the shrimp in the rendered fat until they turn pink and opaque. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the pan.
Sauté the Aromatics
  1. Add onion and garlic to the same pan, sautéing until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Toss in all the vegetables, stirring on high heat with a drizzle of sauce for about 2-3 minutes.
Combine
  1. Add the cooked noodles and remaining sauce, toss until the noodles have absorbed the flavors. Toss in the sausages and shrimp, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
Finish Strong
  1. As a final touch, turn off the heat, toss in green onions if desired, and serve immediately with a squeeze of calamansi or lime juice for added zest.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
