Rice noodles with shrimp, fresh mint and soy sauce

When you come home after a long day at work, you want to put something nutritious on the table, but preferably a dish that is easy to prepare and quick to make. This recipe is then a great choice! The combination with the shrimp, fresh mint, and soy sauce is really recommended because these flavors go very well together. In no time, you have conjured up a special dish on the table! Rice noodles are, after rice grains, the second most common rice product eaten in Asia. They require a shorter cooking time than regular pasta/noodles, which are usually made from wheat. Wheat pasta contains slightly more nutrients than rice, but rice noodles do not contain gluten, making them a good choice for people with a gluten allergy or celiac disease. So, if you want to make this dish even more nutritious, use whole wheat noodles instead of rice noodles. And if you're not a fan of green beans, you can replace them with another vegetable like broccoli or green beans.

Ingredients for Rice Noodles with Shrimp

• 3 handfuls of peeled wok shrimp (uncooked)
• 150 grams wide rice noodles
• green beans
• 2 large tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic
• fresh mint leaves
• soy sauce
• olive oil
• a splash of fresh lemon juice

Preparation of Rice Noodles with Shrimp

1. Put a pan of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
2. Then add the noodles to the boiling water and let them simmer for about 10 minutes over low heat. (depending on the type of noodles you use.)
3. Cut the green beans into small pieces about 2 cm long. Cook them in a shallow layer of water (and butter if desired) until they are al dente. (Don't cook them too long so they remain crispy).
4. Press the garlic and dice the tomatoes.
5. Now fry the wok shrimp with the garlic over medium heat and 5 minutes later you can add the tomato cubes.
6. Fry them briefly until they are cooked. Season with pepper and sea salt.
7. When the noodles are ready, rinse them with lukewarm water. Season them with some olive oil and sea salt and mix them with the green beans and a handful of roughly chopped mint leaves.
8. Once the shrimp are ready, transfer them to a bowl. Mix them with a splash of olive oil, soy sauce, and a small splash of lemon juice.
9. The noodles can now be divided onto plates. Then the shrimp mixture can be placed on top.
10. Sprinkle some roughly chopped mint leaves on top and your dish is ready!
