This dish puts a heart healthy twist on the ramen noodle stir-fry by using whole grain ramen noodles, tons of veggies, and keeping the sodium much lower than the restaurant versions. Shrimp is also a low saturated fat protein choice, which makes this a great heart healthy comfort food!

Instructions
In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Place shrimp in a large shallow bowl and pour sauce over shrimp to marinate while prepping vegetables. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
Prepare all vegetables. Shred cabbage and carrots into a large bowl using a mandolin (or finely slice them using a knife into small strips (jullienne)). Chop broccoli into small florets. Mince ginger, garlic, and shallot. Thinly slice scallions. Set vegetables aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and cook ramen noodles until al dente (firm), about 3 minutes (or follow instructions for cooking time on package). Drain noodles in a colander, rinse under cold running water, set aside.
Heat canola oil in a large pan or wok. Place shrimp into frying pan, and set aside remaining sauce. Saute shrimp until cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add cabbage, carrots, ginger, garlic, shallot, half of the scallions and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
Add broccoli and leftover sauce, cook about 5-10 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Toss in ramen noodles, cooked shrimp, and remaining scallions, and stir to combine. Heat for about 2 minutes to allow ramen noodles and shrimp to warm.
To serve, simply spoon ramen noodle and shrimp mixture into a bowl.
