Ingredients
- 250 grams Chow mein noodles
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams Scallops
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks Green onion, chopped
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chow mein noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large wok or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the shrimp and scallops to the pan. Cook until the seafood turns opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the sesame oil. Toss in the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Return the cooked noodles to the pan, along with the bean sprouts. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything to combine well and to ensure the noodles are coated with the sauces.
Step 6
Add the cooked seafood back to the pan. Stir everything together gently and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your sugar-free seafood chow mein.
