Thin rice vermicelli is stir-fried with curry powder, shrimp, char siu, and vegetables for a golden, aromatic dish. This protein-rich family favorite is bold in flavor and versatile for weeknight cooking.
Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 20 minutes until softened, then drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture during stir-frying.
In a large wok over medium heat, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Scramble the eggs gently until just set, then remove and set aside. Avoid overcooking for a tender texture.
Increase heat to high, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry shrimp until pink and just cooked, about 2 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper, stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add sliced char siu, cooked eggs, and curry powder. Toss to combine evenly, keeping heat high to bloom curry aroma but avoid scorching.
Add drained vermicelli, bean sprouts, and green onions. Drizzle in soy sauce and sesame oil; season with salt and white pepper. Toss quickly for 2-3 minutes until noodles are golden and evenly coated, then serve immediately.
