Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Singapore Noodles
  1. Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Whisk together and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced boneless skinless chicken breast and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and toss in the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add sliced onion, red bell pepper, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Push vegetables to the side and pour in beaten eggs. Scramble for 1-2 minutes until just cooked, then mix with the vegetables.
  8. Add the drained noodles, cooked chicken, and shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with curry powder and toss everything together.
  9. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle mixture and stir. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  10. Stir in sliced green onions right before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
