Seafood Crispy Noodles (Sheng Mian)
Easy Chinese Crispy Noodles Recipe
You will hear the crunch of the noodles as you are eating it at the beginning, and as you eat, the noodles will soften gradually. If you like your noodles softer, just mix it in more with the sauce. I personally prefer my noodles crisp!
This basic recipe serves 1, but feel free to increase the quantity accordingly to your serving requirement.
Ingredients:
- 1 serving of ready-made crispy noodles
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 100 grams assorted seafood (such as peeled prawns, clam meat and sliced squid rings)
- 6 slices carrots sliced thinly to flower shapes
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 300 ml chicken stock (or use instant chicken stock)
- 2-3 slices ginger
- a handful Chinese greens such as bok choy cut to 5 cm lengths
- cornstarch solution 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 4 tbsp water
- pickled green chilli condiment
Directions:
- Place crispy noodles on a wide and slightly deep serving plate. Heat oil in wok. Add garlic and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Add seafood and carrots. Stir-fry briefly, until you see the prawns starting to turn opaque. Drizzle Chinese wine along the sides of the wok.
- Add chicken stock and ginger slices. When the broth comes to a boil, lower to a simmer and add the greens. Thicken the gravy to desired consistency with cornstarch solution.
- Ladle hot gravy over the crispy noodles with pickled green chilli at the side. Serve immediately.
Noob Cook Tips
- Make your own crispy noodles nest by first blanching egg noodles in hot water, draining and then deep frying the noodles briefly (like a few seconds; one portion at a time) in a wok of hot oil. Drain oil and arrange crispy noodles on a serving plate.
- Use your own mix of ingredients (e.g. sliced meat, fish cake and mushrooms). Add them in order of the time taken to cook (e.g. sliced meat first, vegetables last).
- Chicken stock differs in flavour and richness so season the stock with light soy sauce and oyster sauce accordingly to taste. For instant chicken stock, use those packaged in tetra-pak as compared to stock cubes (richer in taste).

Delicious!!! Just like from the zi char stall. With this recipe I don’t have to depend on the zi char stalls anymore
Hi there, do you think it’s possible to omit the wine?
I am contemplating to do the freshly fried ones but that sounds like a lot of work. haha will look for this kind of ready made noodles.
Came across this page after having cooked the same dish with the 砂煲面 and wondering whether it was the right one as it was my first time making this at home. Glad to see it was. Yours looks excellent!
