Vietnamese Sesame Shrimp Noodles (Mi Xao Tom) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Alphabet Recipe Challenge. We meet every other week to post recipes on ascending letters of the alphabet from A-Z. This week we are sharing recipes involving the letter “X”. My letter X is for “Xao”, the Vietnamese word for Stir-Fry.
Along with “Xao” we also have the words “Mi” which stands for noodles. And “Tom”, which refers to shrimp.
I like this dish for it’s light flavor, not being heavy on sauces or deep fried ingredients. Most people who know me know I have been on a long term weight reducing regimen. I do allow myself a normal dinner, but like to keep it lighter. And of course my portion size is reduced for losing weight.
These noodles aren’t spicy or anything. However, if you like, I recommend adding a touch of non-fermented chili paste (sambal) over something like Sriracha, which is also chili paste, but is fermented so the flavor is different. But you should use whatever you prefer, if any at all.
