Dinner #3: Shrimp & Noodle Stir Fry

Saturday, February 29, 2009: this was originally going to to be chicken with soba noodles but over the course of the week I never got around to cooking it so I ended up using some of the ingredients for other things. So in my traditional take on stir fry I ended up piecing something together based on what I had & bought at the fish store (Citarella).

I'm sure this is a sin in someone's book but I bought wild shrimp from Maine & decided to use it. These are really small & sweet (I bought them whole - head & all - but forgot to take a picture of them). I used rice sticks for the noodles along with a red pepper, celery, and scallions. The sauce was a mixture of soy, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. I didn't look very appetizing but was very tasty along with some sichuan pepper & salt. The only item really worth putting a photo up of was dessert: humbolt fog blue cheese & manuka honey (from a trip to New Zealand).
