❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Spicy Garlic Shrimp Ramen with Crispy Noodles
Can I substitute any of the fish sauce or soy sauce in this recipe?
Yes, you can reduce the amount of fish sauce by half and replace it with a mix of 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon a light, balanced umami liquid like chicken broth or a pinch of miso paste. For soy sauce, you could use a mix of 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon coconut aminos for a dairy-free option, but the flavors will differ slightly.
How do I know when the ramen noodles are cooked?
The ramen noodles are ready when they’re soft but still hold their shape—about 4 to 5 minutes in boiling water. If they’re mushy, they need a bit more time, but they should still be slightly chewy. Drain them immediately after cooking to prevent overcooking.
What if I don’t have a wok or deep skillet?
No wok? A deep skillet or even a large saucepan will work just fine. Just make sure it’s large enough to hold the shrimp and broth without crowding. Stir-fry the shrimp in batches if needed to avoid overheating the oil.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the broth, cook the ramen noodles, and even assemble the bowls ahead of time. Store everything separately in the fridge—just reheat the broth and noodles before serving. The shrimp should be cooked fresh, though, to avoid overcooking.
What’s the best way to handle shrimp that’s slightly frozen?
Thaw frozen shrimp in the fridge overnight or under cold, running water for 10 to 15 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking—the moisture can steam instead of sear them.
