Chinese shrimp noodle!

This was really great!  Probably would work out equally well with chicken.

I bought 1.5 lbs shrimp w/ head on because they were on sale.  This was probably 50% too much.

Marinade:
2 tbsp rice wine
2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 Tbsp soy sauce

After shelling the shrimp, marinated them in the above for 30 min covered in the refrigerator.

Prepared 1/2 package of snow peas (trimmed + cut in half).
Got one package tiny asian mushrooms.
4-5 cloves garlic sliced.

Prepped a big pot of boiling water for the noodles.

Heated 2 Tbsp peanut oil until very hot.  Added shrimp + marinade and cooked for about 2 minutes and removed from pan (leaving some of the marinade bits).

Added an additional 1 Tbsp oil, + 5-6 cloves garlic sliced into thin slices + snow peas.  Stir fried about 1.5 min, then added mushrooms and stir fried an additional minute.

Put 10 oz fresh noodle into boiling water at same time as snow peas.  Drained, and added to pan along with the reserved shrimp. 

Immediately swirled sauce over top + a little cornstarch slurry and let it thicken for 30 seconds.

Sauce was:
1/4 C water   (would have used chicken broth if I'd had it)
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine
2 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
