Cooking instructions
Step 1: Start by soaking 1 pack of instant noodles in boiling water.
Step 2: Then heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a wok on a high heat, and fry 1 cup of peeled shrimp until they are almost cooked. Once they are nearly cooked, remove them from the wok and set aside. In the same wok add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and 2 tbsp of shrimp paste with soya bean oil. Mix together, then drain the noodles and add them to the wok.
Step 3: Thoroughly mix the noodles in with the garlic and paste, then add in the shrimp that we just fried, along with 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup of watercress, 5 dried chillies and 1 tbsp of fish sauce. Stir fry everything together for a final 1 to 2 minutes, then add in 1/2 cup of basil, turn off the heat, stir one final time, then serve and enjoy!
