Remember shrimp lo mein? That was my go-to takeout order whenever my parents got Chinese food. Something about those perfectly sauced brown noodles and the tiny shrimp just hit the spot every time.

This recipe is kind of, sort of, my take on those lo mein noodles. I know it’s not a traditional lo mein or ramen recipe—this is just something I dreamed up when craving those nostalgic flavors. But, of course, I had to make it gluten-free!

While this works as a fantastic side dish, it also makes a great base for a veggie stir-fry or your favorite protein. The sauce isn’t thick (I skipped the cornstarch), but trust me, it’s just as flavorful and delicious.
