Ingredients
- 120g rice vermicelli noodles (about 4.2 oz)
- 120g boneless chicken thigh or breast, diced or sliced
- 120g prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 5–6 baby corn, halved lengthwise
- 3–4 spring onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 7–8 mangetout (snow peas or sugar snap peas)
- 3–4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp curry powder
- Seasoning:
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp chicken powder
Instructions
- Soak the rice vermicelli in hot water for 8–10 minutes, then drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs into small pieces, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and sauté garlic for a few seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink. Add prawns and cook for 1–2 minutes more. Season with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Remove and set aside.
- Add more oil if needed. Stir-fry onions briefly, then add baby corn, carrots, and mangetout. Cook for a minute or two.
- Add soaked noodles to the pan. Season with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, chicken powder, and curry powder. Toss to combine.
- Return the cooked chicken, prawns, and eggs to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Finish with spring onions, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken or prawns to save time.
- Adjust spice level by increasing or decreasing the curry powder.
- Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
