# Instructions:
01 -
Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 10-15 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
02 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and reserve.
03 -
Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok. Sauté sliced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 -
Add shredded cooked chicken or sliced pork to the wok. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated thoroughly.
05 -
Add julienned carrot, sliced green beans, shredded cabbage, and sliced celery. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are just tender but retain some crispness.
06 -
Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
07 -
Gently add drained rice noodles to the wok. Toss to coat evenly in sauce, blending with vegetables and meat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the noodles fully absorb the flavors and are heated through.
08 -
If including shrimp, return them to the wok and toss gently with the noodles to distribute.
09 -
Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped green onions, toasted garlic if desired, and lemon wedges for squeezing.
# Notes:

Tofu can be used as a meat alternative for a vegetarian version.

Increase soy sauce or add a splash of fish sauce for a more savory profile.

Drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the noodles before serving for added richness.
