How to master the complex flavors of Hong Kong's XO Shrimp Chow Mein
In short: This video demonstrates a favorite recipe from Hong Kong, featuring a quick shrimp stir fry combined with noodles and savory XO sauce for a restaurant-quality meal.
The process involves seasoning 500g of peeled shrimp with salt, black pepper, and sesame oil before stir-frying them in high-smoke-point oil like grapeseed. Once the shrimp turn pink, they are set aside to make room for vegetables like carrots, snap peas, and bean sprouts.
The dish is brought together by combining the cooked shrimp and noodles—either fresh or lo main/chow mien—with a rich blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and XO sauce. This method ensures the vegetables remain tender-crisp while the noodles absorb the intense flavors of the sauce.
