Instructions
- Place noodles in a large bowl.
- Cover completely with boiling water, soak, stirring occasionally, until noodles are just tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain well and set aside.
- Whisk egg in a small bowl, then stir in sugar, fish or oyster sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, chili-garlic sauce and chili flakes.
- Set aside.
- Boil broth over high heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
- Pour reduced chicken broth into a large, non-stick skillet, add garlic, chicken and shrimp.
- Stir frequently until shrimp start to turn pink and chicken starts to turn white.
- Stir in egg mixture, then add drained noodles.
- Stir to evenly coat.
- If noodles begin to stick, reduce heat to medium.
- Add green onions, peppers, coriander, mint and bean sprouts.
- Continue stirring until noodles are heated through, from 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add chopped peanuts if you want, but they will increase fat content for this lowfat recipe.
- Spoon into bowls and serve with lime.
- Note: You can substitute frozen pre-cooked shrimp for the fresh.
