Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rice vermicelli noodles thin
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots julienned
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 1 cup large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Place 8 ounces of rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes or until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside. Watch them so you don't overcook them.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.
  • Add the raw shrimp to the skillet with the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the chicken and shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet or wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the thinly sliced onion, red bell pepper, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
  • Add the soaked and drained rice noodles, cooked chicken, and shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of curry powder over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
  • Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing to coat everything evenly.
  • Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and vegetables make a huge difference in flavor. Don’t skip out on quality produce!
  2. High Heat is Your Friend: Cooking on high heat helps achieve that nice sear and prevents the ingredients from getting soggy. Keep your wok or skillet nice and hot.
  3. Perfect Noodle Texture: Soak the rice vermicelli just until tender to keep them chewy. Over-soaking can make them mushy, which we definitely want to avoid.
  4. Wok vs. Skillet: If you have a wok, fantastic! It distributes heat more evenly and gives you that authentic stir-fry experience. If not, a large skillet works just as well—just make sure it’s spacious enough for tossing.
  5. Customize Your Protein: Feel free to switch up the chicken and shrimp with your favorite proteins like beef, tofu, or even extra veggies for a vegetarian twist.
  6. Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat them in a skillet with a splash of water to keep the noodles from drying out.
