Hibachi Shrimp and noodles

I love going to Japanese restaurants and their shrimp, chicken, steak, with noodles. So, I decided to make me a batch. :-)

First you boil some linguine until they are fully cooked.


Note: one fun way I was taught to see if the noodles are done is to take one and fling it at your fridge.

If it sticks its done if is not they need to boil a little longer. :-)
Oh, make sure you throw that one away ;-) 

Second you defrost some shrimp depending on the number of people you are serving.


Place the shrimp in a wok and cook them.

After the noodles have boiled strain the water out of the pot and add them to the wok with the shrimp &/or chicken/ steak.


Add ginger and white sauce to the noodles shrimp &/or chicken/ steak.  Reduce the heat to medium- low and stir well. Then serve. 8-)

Note: you can use takeout samples from the restaurants.

Or you can make your own sauces; these are the popular ingredients I have run across:

For the white dipping sauce:
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix the mayonnaise, white sugar, rice vinegar, melted butter, paprika and garlic powder together in a bowl then serve. Put the rest in the fridge to save it. ;-)

For the ginger dipping sauce:
·  1/4 cup chopped onion
·  1 piece  of a small gingerroot0
·  1/2 cup soy sauce000000
·  1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
·  Blend it together
This will give you about 1 cup's worth.

Make a basic salad and add this wonderful dressing

For the salad dressing
1 onion
2 Tbs salad oil
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
3 oz ginger root
2 small carrot
1 stalk celery
1 tomato
1 Tbs Sesame oil
4 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp white sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbs White Miso
1 tsp Sesame Seed

Chop the vegetables up and blend them together. You may need to add more water to thin it out until it reaches your desired consistency
