Let’s get cooking

01
Soften noodles
Soak glass noodles according to their package, usually 10–15 minutes in warm water. Drain and cut into manageable lengths.
02
Prepare garlic sauce
Warm oil over medium-low heat. Stir garlic 30 seconds without browning; remove from heat and mix with soy sauce and sauce water.
03
Arrange
Spread noodles on a shallow heatproof plate. Place shrimp in one layer over them and pour the garlic sauce evenly across the plate.
04
Steam and check
Steam over boiling water 8–12 minutes, adjusting for shrimp size, until all shrimp are firm, opaque and pearly. Add scallion and serve carefully.
