1-Before you dive in, make sure you have everything ready since this recipe moves fast. Start by soaking 100 grams of dried rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water until they soften, which takes just a few minutes, then drain them well. This step ensures the noodles don’t clump up later and absorb the sauce nicely. Having your shrimp or prawns shelled and deveined ahead of time will save you hassle during cooking.

2-Next, prep the other items like slicing the half a medium onion, mincing the 4 garlic cloves, and grating 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Thinly slice 250 grams of Chinese barbecue pork and 1 cup of red capsicum. If you’re adding heat, prepare 2 teaspoons of thinly sliced hot green pepper. With all this set, you’re ready to fire up the wok.

3-Heat one tablespoon of the peanut oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the 8 to 10 medium raw shrimp and cook them for about 2½ to 3 minutes until they curl into a “C” shape and turn pink this keeps them tender and juicy. Once done, remove the shrimp and set them aside. In the same pan, pour in the 2 beaten eggs and cook them into a thin omelette, then roll it up, take it out, and slice it into strips.

4-Using the remaining tablespoon of peanut oil, sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onion for about two minutes until they soften and smell amazing. Toss in the sliced red capsicum and cook for another minute to keep it crisp yet flavorful. Now, add the drained noodles and the sauce mixture made from 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, 2½ teaspoons curry powder, ½ teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon white pepper and stir everything together.

5-Finally, mix in the sliced egg, cooked shrimp, pork, and any hot green pepper if you’re using it. Keep tossing for one to two minutes until all the ingredients are coated and heated through. Serve it right away for the best taste and texture. For a link to more recipe ideas, check out this banana bread coffee cake that pairs well with meals like this one.
