2. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3. 2 garlic cloves, minced
4. 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
5. 4 scallions, whites and greens separated, chopped
6. 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms
7. 2 medium carrots, cut into thin slices
8. 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
9. 3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
10. 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
11. 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

Directions:
1. Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat.
3. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until lightly golden.
4. Add the mushrooms, carrots, and bell pepper, and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Toss in the shrimp and cook until just pink and slightly firm.
6. Add the cooked noodles, oyster sauce, and soy sauce to the pan.
7. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the sauce is thickened and covers the noodles in a light sheen.
8. Divide the mixture among 4 plates.
9. If desired, garnish with the scallion greens. (I think it overwhelms the dish and normally leave it off, however, it is pretty.).
