Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp peanut or other cooking oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 100 g bean sprouts
  • 100 g barbecued pork (char siu), thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked in boiling water for 1 hour, drained
  • 300 g dried rice vermicelli, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes, drained
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp Chinese curry powder or five spice powder 
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 red chillies, seeds removed and thinly sliced
Soaking time: 1 hour

Instructions

  1. Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until very hot. Pour in the beaten egg and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cooked through, swirling the pan to make a thin omelette. Transfer the omelette to a chopping board, roll up and cut into small strips.

  2. Reheat the wok over high heat and add the remaining oil. When the oil is very hot, add the onion and bean sprouts and toss for 1-2 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the pork and shrimp and toss for another minute.

  3. Add the noodles, salt, curry powder and soy sauce and toss until heated through and well combined. Add the omelette strips, spring onion and chilli. Toss to combine and serve.
