shrimp and cellophane noodles: French Fridays with Dorie

Shrimp and Cellophane Noodles:  sounds good....but when reading the ingredient list I almost opted out of this recipe week...2 cups of tomato sauce was the main base of the sauce...not my idea of stir fry.  But, I have learned to trust Dorie and I just went with it.  And I'm glad I did, although older daughter Stacy was much "gladder", she liked it even more than I did!








Starting place:  remember the game which one does not belong in this picture?  (yes, I would have picked the tomato sauce!)



Shrimp and veggies did great in the wok to start with....



Then, lo and behold...what kind of stir fry is this?  French, I guess....



It plated well, the cilantro brought it together.  It was good for dinner, then good for lunch the next day.



Another holiday from school, another day with Wii Dance Party...now Sadie can join in too!


Well, I'm glad I made this one.  I might make it again, but maybe not....  To see what others did with this recipe, you can visit French Fridays with Dorie.

  4. It good to hear a few folks enjoyed the recipe as written - I was scared away from using the tomato after reading the P&Qs and came up with a version that we liked quite a bit.

  5. It is great to see one of us who used the 2 cups of tomato sauce and liked it! I am really glad you and your family enjoyed this one. The puree was just a little too thick and tomatoey for us.
