Cooking Steps
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim scallions; thinly slice greens until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cut remaining greens and whites into 1-inch pieces. • Place noodles in a medium heatproof bowl. • Once water is boiling, pour over noodles; soak until noodles can be easily pulled apart with a fork, 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water (noodles will finish cooking in Step 3).
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid; place in a second medium bowl. Toss with 1 tsp soy sauce (2 tsp for 4 servings) and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and scallion pieces in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and scallions are lightly charred, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp for chicken.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and carrot mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add drained noodles and cook, tossing, until combined, 1-2 minutes more. (If noodles seem dry, add another drizzle of oil.) • Remove from heat. Add chicken and scallion mixture, umami ginger sauce, half the Sriracha, and remaining soy sauce; toss until coated and saucy.
• Divide stir-fry between shallow bowls; top with sliced scallion greens and drizzle with as much remaining Sriracha as you like. Serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
A new favorite. Rice noodles were perfect. Very flavorful and savory. Love that it was easy to prepare.
This was my first Hello Fresh meal and it was Easy to make and delicious! The shrimp was great quality and even my husband loved it.
The hubby and I really enjoyed this. It was easy to make. More ginger sauce would be great. I'll be looking for this again.
Wouldn't mind if it had a bit more flavor, or if it had a slightly larger portion - not as filling as other pasta dishes but still very yummy
Ooh I really like this recipe, especially the Mei Fun vs wheat noodles. More rice noodles please!
Ingredients were fresh, not like the last couple of boxes I have gotten. Bravo on improving your quality control of the produce...
The noodles were hard to separate and even with the sauce and adding extra olive oil it was dry. I really wanted to like it, but it fell short.
A little more sauce. Felt like it was a lot of noodles for the amount of sauce. The shrimp was excellent.
I personally think I would have opted for chicken instead of shrimp, but I'm glad I tried it!!
Could've had some lemon or lime in there, but pretty good
