Note

If using raw shrimp, cook them until pink and opaque before adding the noodles.

For extra crunch, garnish with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds.

Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Do not overcook the bean sprouts to maintain their crisp texture.
