8oz roughly shrimp
3 green onions or one small sweet onion

salt and pepper to taste
4 oz snow peas, cut in half
1 tsp dried or a few slices fresh ginger, diced


In large heavy saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat; cook onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Pour in chicken stock,soy sauce and sesame oil; bring to boil, skimming off any foam. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add noodles; cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until noodles are tender. Add shrimp and snow peas; cook, covered, for 3 minutes or until shrimp are bright pink and snow peas are tender.
