Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) package chow mein noodles
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (14 ounce) can beef consomme
1 cup diced celery
½ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package bean sprouts
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
⅓ cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chow mein noodles and cook over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
While noodles cook, heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook and stir until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add shrimp and cook and stir until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes. Add consomme, celery, and salt; cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Add bean sprouts and mushrooms and bring to a simmer.
Blend water, cornstarch, soy sauce, and sugar together in a small bowl. Add mixture to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over cooked chow mein noodles.
