Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- To the boiling water, add noodles. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Strain noodles, then return noodles to the pot. (TIP: Do not rinse noodles for crispier edges in the air fryer!)
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any dirt.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel carrot. Cut into 1/8-inch matchsticks.
- Cut green onion whites into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice remaining green onions.
- Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat air fryer to 425°F.
- In the air fryer basket, arrange noodles in an even layer. Air fry 10-14 min, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. (NOTE: Don't crowd the basket; fry in 2 batches for 4 servings.)
- While noodles fry, to a medium bowl, add oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, half the soy sauce and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups water). Whisk to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then carrots, peppers, bok choy and green onion whites. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
- Remove from heat. Stir in remaining soy sauce.
- Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.** (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil for each batch.)
- Add sauce mixture. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Divide crispy noodles between plates.
- Top with veggies, shrimp and sauce from the pan.
- Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavour: The shrimp and vegetable sauce was generally well-liked, but the crispy noodles divided reviewers — some enjoyed the texture, while many found them too dry, clumpy, or stale-tasting once sauced.
- Ease of prep: The chopping and multi-step process took more time than expected, and the air fryer step added complexity.
- Suggestions: Skip the air fryer step and serve the noodles soft if you prefer a more cohesive dish; several reviewers preferred them that way. Do not add extra salt to the noodles or vegetables, as the oyster and soy sauces provide plenty of seasoning on their own. If you do air fry the noodles, watch the time carefully — cooking at a lower temperature or for less time may prevent them from becoming too dry or clumped together.
