Ingredients
– 5 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
– 12 large frozen shrimp (peeled, deveined, butterflied)
– 4 ounces Chinese BBQ pork or substitutes like Virginia ham or Chinese sausage
– 9 ounces shredded napa cabbage (about 3 cups)
– 1 medium carrot (approximately 2.5 ounces or 70 grams)
– Β½ of a red onion (about 2.5 ounces or 70 grams, thinly sliced)
– a bunch of julienned scallions
– 2 Β½ tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
– 2 beaten eggs
– 2 cloves chopped garlic
– 3 dried red chili peppers
– 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry cooking sherry
– 2 tablespoons curry powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ΒΌ teaspoon sugar
– 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
– 2-4 tablespoons chicken stock or water
– Β½ teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 Β½ teaspoons soy sauce (can substitute gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version)
Instructions
1-Start with the noodles by rehydrating 5 ounces of rice vermicelli in cold water overnight or soaking in hot water for at least 30 minutes until they soften. Once ready, drain them and trim to 8-10 inch lengths for easier stir-frying. This step is key for getting the right texture without clumping.
2-First, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a hot wok, then scramble the 2 beaten eggs and set them aside.
3-Next, in the same wok, pour in the remaining 1 Β½ tablespoons of vegetable oil and cook 2 cloves of chopped garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4-Add the 12 large frozen shrimp (peeled, deveined, butterflied), 4 ounces of Chinese BBQ pork, and 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink.
5-Toss in 3 dried red chili peppers, 9 ounces of shredded napa cabbage, and 1 medium carrot, cooking for another 2 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
6-Stir in the rehydrated rice vermicelli noodles, then add 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ΒΌ teaspoon of sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper. If the noodles seem dry, splash in 2-4 tablespoons of chicken stock or water to keep things moist.
7-Finish by mixing in Β½ teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 Β½ teaspoons of soy sauce, the scrambled eggs, the julienned scallions, and Β½ of a red onion, then stir-fry briefly for about 1 minute to blend all the flavors.
