Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams vermicelli rice noodles
  • ¾ lb shrimp large shrimp are best for this dish
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoon peanut oil split
  • ¼ cup dried Asian chilies optional - add if you like spicy food or you can add it for extra color and don't have to eat them!

Vegetables

  • ½ onion thinly sliced
  • 2 each green onions cut into 1"-2" pieces
  • 1 cup red cabbage sliced thinly or cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • ½ cup carrots either shredded or julienned thinly (keep these pieces small so they can cook quickly)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon curry powder I highly recommend S&B Oriental Curry Powder
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 ts sugar
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

Cook The Noodles

  • Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to package directions. Drain in a colander. Place the drained noodles on a rack (if you have one available) and spread them out. This helps the noodles avoid clumping together too much.

Time To Stir Fry!

  • Heat up your wok on a high heat. Once you see it smoking, add 2 tablespoon of the oil. If the oil doesn't cover the bottom of the wok you can add more oil. Now add the lightly beaten eggs. Once the eggs are set break them up with your spatula. Push the eggs to the side and add the shrimp. The shrimp will cook quickly in the hot wok. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove the shrimp and the eggs from the wok and place on a dish. This should take around 1-2 minutes.

  • Add additional oil if the wok looks dry (the remaining 2 tablespoon of peanut oil). Now quickly add all the vegetables, garlic, and chilies (if using). Stir fry this for 1-2 minutes.
