MALAYSIAN STIR-FRIED NOODLES WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring 3 or 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot, add about a tablespoon of salt and the greens. Cook 30 seconds only, and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water, using a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer. Drain, squeeze out water and chop coarsely. Set aside. Bring the water back to a boil, add the cabbage, blanch 30 seconds and transfer to the ice water. Drain and set aside.
• Bring the water back to a boil and add the noodles. Cook 2 minutes, drain, shake off excess water, toss with a tablespoon of the oil, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, salt, sugar, and the chile paste. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and set aside.
• Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining oil and garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds or until the garlic and ginger are fragrant. Add the tomatoes and increase heat slightly. Stir until the tomatoes begin to break down and stick to the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and blanched greens and cabbage and cook, stirring, until the shrimp curl and turn pink, and the cabbage is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the noodles and soy sauce mixture and stir together until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce. Add the bean sprouts and cilantro, toss together quickly and remove from the heat. Serve, with lime wedges on the side.
