Ingredients

  • 15 1/2 oz. package thin noodles I had these shrimp flavored noodles I had purchased the last time I was in Chinatown, but you can use any Asian style thin noodle
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated (galangal is more commonly used, but since it is difficult to find here in US & many other countries, I substituted ginger)
  • 1 Habanero/ Scotch Bonnet pepper finely chopped (called Madame Jeanette pepper in Suriname)
  • 1/3 cup dried shrimp reconstituted in boiling water for 10 minutes
  • 6 tablespoons Kecap Manis
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions - about 5 minutes. Drain and run with cold water immediately so that the noodles do not overcook.
  • Heat oil. Add onion, scallions, garlic, Habanero pepper and ginger. Saute for a few minutes until the onions become translucent.
  • Add Kecap Manis, ketchup, and shrimp. Add noodles and toss well. Add salt, if needed.

Notes

If you cannot source Kecap Manis, you can make it yourself by simmering equal amounts of soy sauce and palm/brown sugar until maple syrup consistency
