    This traditional Thai dish is actually quite simple to prepare. It’s a tasty way to bring a little ethnic flare to your kitchen table.

    List of Ingredients




    12 oz dry somen noodles
    1 1/2 cup canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium
    1 large egg(s)
    2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
    2 Tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter
    1 tsp Asian hot sauce, or more to taste
    2 tsp dark sesame oil
    1 pound shrimp, medium-sized, peeled and deveined
    1 medium sweet red pepper(s), diced
    1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
    1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    4 Tbsp scallion(s), chopped
    1 Tbsp peanuts, finely chopped

    Recipe



    1. Cook noodles according to package directions without added salt or fat. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. (Note: You can substitute vermicelli noodles for the somen noodles, if desired.)
    2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together broth, egg, soy sauce, peanut butter and hot sauce; set aside until ready to use.
    3. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, red pepper, ginger, and garlic and sauté until shrimp just begin to turn pink, about 3 minutes (they won’t be fully cooked yet).
    4. Season shrimp mixture with salt and black pepper. Add chicken broth mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through (mixture will be lumpy from the cooked egg), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, about 2 to 3 minutes.
    5. Stir shrimp mixture into noodles and mix well. Transfer noodle mixture to individual plates and top each serving with 1 tablespoon of scallions and 1/4 tablespoon of peanuts. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
