Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes, ensuring they just soften. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the boneless skinless chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Toss in sliced onion, red bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender but still crunchy.
  7. Push vegetables to one side and scramble the eggs in the empty side for about 1-2 minutes. Mix with vegetables.
  8. Add soaked noodles, chicken, and shrimp back to the skillet. Sprinkle with curry powder and mix. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  10. Stir in chopped green onions before serving. Plate warm and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
