Wipe out the wok. Add the chilled noodles and a few tablespoons of the firecracker sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove the noodles to a shallow bowl.
Wipe out the wok. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers, chili paste, and remaining firecracker sauce. Stir to mix. Add the shrimp to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp has finished cooking.
Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the noodles, garnish with the green onions, and serve immediately.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I've probably tried every item on the menu at P.F. Chang's and am a huge fan so I can attest that this is very close to the restaurant version. I will make this again definitely.

This seemed like authentic PF Chang take-out! Very spicy (in a good way). We all sat around the table with our noses running and perspiring on our foreheads. The cold leftovers were good too.

The firecracker sauce is great! The rest of the ingredients are easy to prepare and there aren't that many steps involved to complete the meal despite the long ingredient list. Very good recipe!
