As with many dishes, it is helpful to prepare all of your ingredients before you begin cooking.

Heat a wok over medium high heat and add the oil, onion, garlic, and dried shrimp.

Stir-fry until the onion is translucent.

Add the wine and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.

Add the chicken stock, salt, sugar and broad bean noodles.

Turn down heat to low and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add the zucchini and carrots along with the soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper.

Turn the heat up to medium and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, reducing almost all of the liquid.

If you like your noodles a bit more soupy, you can add more chicken stock.

Stir in the shrimp and scallions and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp is just cooked through. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
