This Thai Shrimp Noodle Bowl recipe is a tasty dinner that the entire family enjoyed.
The recipe combines the dried plums with lots of vegetables like carrots, red peppers and scallions, and tops it all off with shrimp. I shredded the carrots and zucchini and cut all the ingredients finely for an easy to eat stir fry, suitable for using chopsticks. I served it over rice noodles, and it was delicious.
The dried plums gave the stir fry a little bit of sweetness, which went great with spicy red pepper flakes in the teriyaki based sauce. My husband even commented on how much the plums added to the dish, and he rarely notices things like that! But my favorite thing about this dish was how quick it was to make. The entire meal was ready in 20 minutes, and that includes the time to chop up the vegetables. I love healthy, filling dinners that I can make for my family when time is short!
