How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the steps. This recipe is a breeze, and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time!
- Cook the Noodles: Start by cooking your high-protein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. I love using edamame or chickpea noodles for an extra protein boost!
- Prep the Veggies: While the noodles cook, slice your red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snow peas. The goal is to have them all ready to go when it’s time to stir-fry.
- Heat the Wok or Skillet: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the Shrimp: Toss in the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Veggies: Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp. If you like a little heat, now’s the time to add the sriracha or red pepper flakes!
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce or tamari and honey or maple syrup. Stir everything together for about 2 minutes to coat the shrimp and veggies in the sauce.
- Add the Noodles: Finally, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to make this recipe even better:
- Customize the veggies to your favorites. Not a fan of broccoli? Swap it out for zucchini or mushrooms!
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed peanuts or cashews on top before serving.
- If you’re meal prepping, cook the noodles and veggies ahead of time, then stir-fry everything together just before eating.

This stir fry is a complete meal on its own, but feel free to serve it with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a well-rounded dinner.
