How did we not think of this before? We've brought you plenty of shrimp and plenty of noodles and plenty of Chinese dishes, but never a straight-up no-thrills-besides-the-delight-on-the-tongue shrimp lo mein before. Consider this a grave oversight on our part that we're rectifying right away. Noodles, shrimp, carrots, peanuts, bok choy… well, we were once blind, but now we see… and can't wait to taste. Tip: Bok choy can retain some grit, even after washing. To completely clean, hold upside down in a bowl of water. Shake slightly to release the grit.
