  1. Prepare the Noodles: Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 3-5 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Protein: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, scramble the eggs, then remove and set aside. Add shrimp (and pork if using) to the pan and stir-fry until cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry Veggies: Add the remaining oil, then stir-fry the garlic, onion, bell pepper, and carrot until slightly softened.
  4. Add Spices & Sauces: Stir in curry powder, turmeric, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili flakes. Mix well.
  5. Combine Everything: Toss in the noodles, shrimp, pork, and eggs. Stir-fry until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Finish & Serve: Garnish with spring onions and serve with lime wedges.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Fast & Easy: Takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.
  • Adaptable: Swap shrimp for chicken, tofu, or beef. Use any veggies on hand.
  • Flavorful: The curry powder gives it a signature golden hue and aromatic taste.
