Steps
  1. subheading: Noodles:
  2. Cook the rice noodles as per the instructions on the back of the package. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process otherwise, they will become mushy. Drain thoroughly to get rid of excess water.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the rice noodles with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 2 teaspoons soy sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
  4. subheading: Shrimp:
  5. Clean and devein shrimp. In a medium mixing bowl, stir shrimp with the cornstarch, oyster or fish sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and curry powder. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
  6. subheading: Cook eggs:
  7. Scramble your 3 eggs, stirring constantly. Scramble them for 2 minutes, or until they form large, soft curds. You want them wet and runny. Transfer them from the pan to a plate or bowl. Set aside.
  8. subheading: Stir- Fry:
  9. *Heat a large wok on high heat until very hot. *See Note Below
  10. Add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add ginger, garlic and curry paste. Stir-fry for 10 seconds.
  11. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked, stirring frequently.
  12. Now add the shredded cabbage (if using), broccoli and scallions and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  13. Add your tablespoon of soy sauce and sesame oil, then your salt and pepper. Add the eggs, breaking the curds up slightly to distribute evenly. Mix everything well.
  14. Finally, add the prepared rice noodles and stir-fry everything together to heat the noodles through and distribute the shrimp and vegetables. Taste and season to your liking.
  15. Garnish with more scallions, toasted sesame seeds and cliantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
  • *Make sure to gather all the ingredients before stir-frying the noodles. They are cooked on high heat with ingredients going into the wok one after the other.
