17 - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Place rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for about 5 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
02 - In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Whisk until well mixed and set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken breast and cook for 3–4 minutes until almost cooked through.
04 - Add shrimp to the wok with chicken and cook 2–3 minutes until shrimp turn pink and are cooked. Remove chicken and shrimp from the wok and set aside.
05 - In the same wok, add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
06 - Add onion, red bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
07 - Push vegetables to one side of the wok. Pour beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until cooked through. Mix eggs with vegetables.
08 - Add soaked noodles, cooked chicken, and shrimp into the wok. Sprinkle curry powder evenly over the noodles and toss to coat.
09 - Pour prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss thoroughly on high heat until everything is evenly coated.
10 - Stir in sliced green onions and cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

# Notes:

01 - Use the freshest garlic, ginger, and vegetables for optimal flavour and texture.
02 - Maintain high heat when stir-frying to keep ingredients crisp and avoid sogginess.
03 - Soak rice vermicelli only until tender to ensure a pleasing, chewy texture.
04 - A traditional wok offers superior heat distribution, but a large skillet will also suffice.
05 - Swap proteins to suit preference, such as tofu or additional vegetables for a vegetarian adaptation.
06 - Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to four days; reheat in a skillet with a splash of water to maintain noodle moisture.
